Magnetic hard drives contain round pieces of metal called which are coated with a magnetizable substance.?

Magnetic hard drives contain round pieces of metal called platters, which are coated with a magnetizable substance. This coating allows data to be stored magnetically on the surface of the platters. When the drive operates, read/write heads move across the platters to access or modify the stored information.

What disk platters?

Disk platters are the circular data storage components inside hard disk drives (HDDs) and some solid-state drives (SSDs) that store digital information. Each platter is coated with a magnetic material that allows data to be written and read by a read/write head. Multiple platters can be stacked within a single drive to increase storage capacity. The speed and performance of a hard drive are influenced by the number of platters and their rotational speed.


What is the best way dispose of old laptops that have your info on the hard drives?

There is software that will overwrite data on the hard drive. Personally, I would dismantle the laptop, remove the drives, strip the drives and smash the platters. There is little value in selling old computers.

What are the components of hard disk?

Most of the enclosure is made out of a metallic alloy however the main part of a hard drive, which stores the data magnetically, is called the platter. In a hard drive there are normally several platters. Platters can store data on both sides requiring a head (reader) for each side. The core of the platters are typically made using an aluminum or glass and ceramic substrate shaped into a disk. Then the disk is coated with a thin layer of a mostly nonmagnetic metallic alloy and on top of this is a protective carbon-based overcoat. Both of these layers are applied in the same process which is called sputtering. The next layer of the disk is a nanometer thin polymeric lubricant applied by dipping the disk into a solvent solution. The surface of the disk needs to be flawlessly smooth so that the disk head can rapidly move over the surface. Scott


What is a spindle on a watch?

A spindle on a watch is a small cylindrical component that supports the hands of the watch. It acts as a pivot point for the hands to rotate around, allowing them to move smoothly and accurately to indicate the time. The spindle is connected to the movement of the watch, which drives the hands.


What is the differences between magnetic hard drives and solid state hard drive?

Traditional magnetic hard drives use platters that spin and a magnetic head that applies negative and positive charges to the platters to record data in 1s and 0s. SSD drives are essentially flash drives similar to what is used in iPods. "Switches" in each memory "bank" are turned on and off with an electrical signal to record the data in 1s and 0s. SSD is faster because it does not have to "seek" for the location of the data on the hard drive.
