Detailed explanation-1: -A read/write head is a specific physical part of a hard disk that is responsible for reading data from, and writing data to, the disk. Read/write heads are typically made up of a thin horizontal magnetic blade attached to an actuator arm.
Detailed explanation-2: -The platters are where data is written as a series of 1s and 0s magnetically, which make up your files. For durability, platters are now coated with a retentive substance such as oxide. The spindle is the rotating shaft that keeps the platters in position, and rotates the platters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Head-This is the “needle” that reads the data from the platter. When this head is knocked off balance or fluctuates, your drive crashes. 4. Arm-This holds the heads in place, and moves them around the platters when the disk is seeking a track or sector.
