The disk is hardware, but information ON the disk is software. Rule of thumb is if you can touch it with your fingers, it is hardware. You can touch the disk, but you cannot touch files or programs.
read/write head
A hard disk is the physical medium information storage device of most computerized systems. It is an actual disk that rotates at high speed. The surface is coated with magnetic material, and data is stored magnetically on the surface. A tiny read/write head on the end of an arm that can move over the surface of the disk does the reading and writing to transfer the information to and from the medium.
In magnetic particles on the hard drive disk surface. The drive head reads the magnetic particles and interprets if they are ones or zeros. The head doesn't touch the disk surface but resides about .00005 thousands away from the surface. Just opening the drive housing in an unclean environment can render the drive unusable. It also voids the warranty
The disks in question would be found between the vertebrae where they cusion the joint. Injury or degenerative disease will cause the surface of the disk to deteriorate and bulge. The bulging presses on nerves and can cause paralysis or pain.
