What do you know about your hard drive? A hard drive stores all
the information on your computer. It has a recording
device called a magnetic medium that records all the information you put on it. It’s kind of like a
cassette tape except a tape records onto a plastic strip, and a
hard drive records onto an aluminum or glass disk.

A hard disk stores info different from a cassette
tape. A tape has a read/write head that
actually touches the tape to record. The hard disk has a read/write head that flies over the disk at 170m.p.h. that reports all info to the
hard drive.

An Actual Hard Drive• The arm in the
picture holds the read/write head. The arm is EXTREMELY fast and lightweight. On most hard drives, it can go from the edge to the hub 50 times per second!!!

• Memory is stored on sectors and tracks. The sectors are the pizza slice shaped parts, which are often stored together in clusters, and the tracks are the little curved segments.
