HARD DISK DRIVE
1. It is a data storage device in a computer.
2. It is a secondary storage device.
3. Its stored in 0 (or) 1.
4. The operating system, software and most
other file are stored in the HDD.
5. Its invented in 1954 by ibm.
6. Now a day, HDD with 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch
platter in different capacities , such as
10GB,20Gb,40GB,80GB
Main computers for Hard disk drive
.disk platter
.stepper motor
.spindle motor
.Arm
DISK PLATTER
The platter is made up of a magnetic material, in the flat disk part
of the drive.
1. The data stored in the platter.
2. Each set of magnetic particles is collection a unit called a bit.
3. New hard-drive technology uses thin-film metals and glass
platters to increase efficiency and drive storage capacity.
STEPPER MOTOR
1. Use stepper motors for controlling read/write head position.
2. Stepper motors usually use +12V power, but some new low-
power drives use +5V power source
SPINDEL MOTOR
1. It control the platter.
2. Ithis motor rotates at a speed of 3600 to 10,000 r.p.m. 3. All
the platter moves in the same direction.
READ AND WRITE HEAD
1. The heads read and write the information to the drive platter.
2. The head writes magnetic information on the platter.
HEAD ARM
1.Using for read and write operation.
Disk structures
(A) Track
(B) Sector
(C) Cylinder
(D) Storage capacity
Track:The HDD is divided into number of concentric circlues called
tracks.
Circular path in sector is called track.
Sector: Data storage area in one track multiple divided into the
multiple block is called sector.
Each sector can have 512 bytes of the data.
Cylinder : A set of corresponding tracks in all sides of a hard disk is
called cylinder.
Storage capacity: Its having a formula shown
storage capacity-number of cylinder's tracks per cylinder* sector per
tracks bytes per sector.
How a Hard Disk Works
•Composed of several coated platters
stacked on a spindle
•Data saved to the disk : pattern of
magnetized spots
– Spots = 1 – Spaces = 0
•Between platters are
read/write heads that read and
write magnetized data
•Spots are translated into data
Jumper setting for
It have 8 pin
2 Rows
4 pairs
TYPES OF INTERFACEING IN HDD
They are three types of interfacing in hard disk
.IDE
.SATA
.SCSI
IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) / PATA
Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment)
1. It has a 40 pin connector
2. Data transfer rate is 133mbbs.
3 .when installed this type of hard drives ensure that the
jumpers are correctly configured.
4. If you have two devices connected to one IDE controller.
(one must be set to master and the other must be set o Go
to Settings to activate Windows slave)
SCSI(small computer system interface)
1. It has a 50 or 68 pin connector.
2. The data transfer rate is 600Mb/s.
3. These require a SCSI adapter card
connected the system
4. Now a days most desktop
computer did not used the SCSI.
Main problem created in HDD
. No operating system
(no operating system in Hard Disk)
Disk boot failure
(cable problem)or (HDD not Detect)
