FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Platters. The platters are the circular discs inside the hard drive where the 1s and 0s that make up your files are stored. Platters are made out of aluminum, glass or ceramic and have a magnetic surface in order to permanently store data.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hard drive contains a spinning platter with a thin magnetic coating. A “head” moves over the platter, writing 0’s and 1’s as tiny areas of magnetic North or South on the platter. To read the data back, the head goes to the same spot, notices the North and South spots flying by, and so deduces the stored 0’s and 1’s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Disk platters The disks in a hard drive are called platters and this is where your data is stored. There are typically between 1 and 5 platters stacked on a central spindle, with data being stored on both sides of each disk. Each platter is made of either aluminium, glass or a ceramic material.

Detailed explanation-4: -hard disk, also called hard disk drive or hard drive, magnetic storage medium for a computer. Hard disks are flat circular plates made of aluminum or glass and coated with a magnetic material.

Detailed explanation-5: -A hard disk drive platter or hard disk is the circular magnetic disk on which digital data is stored in a hard disk drive. The rigid nature of the platters is what gives them their name (as opposed to the flexible materials which are used to make floppy disks).
