Explanation:
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: -How is data stored on a hard disk? Data is stored on a hard drive in binary code, using 1s and 0s. The information is spread out on the magnetic layer of the disk(s) and are read or written by the read heads that ‘float’ above the surface thanks to the layer of air produced by the ultra fast rotation of the disk.
