How does the microdrive work?

A microdrive is a small, portable storage device that uses magnetic disks to read and write data, similar to a traditional hard drive but on a much smaller scale. It consists of a miniature spinning disk, a read/write head, and an actuator to position the head over the correct track on the disk. The data is stored in magnetic patterns on the disk surface, and the read/write head detects these patterns to retrieve or store information. Microdrives are often used in devices like digital cameras and portable media players due to their compact size and relatively high storage capacity.
