First off, your sentence has 13 words in it, you should be able to spell all of them correctly. Hard drive is written as two separate words as well.

Hard drive platters are magnetic media, CDs are optical media, one cannot read or write to the other.

What heads float on a cushion of air above the the platter?

In a hard drive, the read/write heads float on a cushion of air above the platter. This ensures that there is a tiny gap between the heads and the spinning platter, allowing the heads to read and write data without physically touching the surface of the disk.

Is platter a input device or output device?

An interesting question. Typically, devices fall into a category of 'input' or 'output'. A monitor, for example, would universally be regarded as an output device. A keyboard, an input device. A platter, which I'm assuming is a hard drive platter and not a delicious halal meal, falls neatly into both catgeories. It is an input device when data is being read from it, and an output device where data is being read to it.

What is the significance of the HDD platter material in determining the performance and durability of a hard drive?

The material of the HDD platter is important for the performance and durability of a hard drive because it affects factors like data read/write speed, storage capacity, and resistance to wear and tear. Different materials have varying magnetic properties and physical characteristics that can impact how efficiently and reliably the hard drive operates over time.


Do hard drives have magnetic cylinders that store information?

Yes. The magnetic 'platters' that store the information are arranged horizontally and are 'read' by an arm that swings over them. Think of an album on a turntable with the needle arm and you have a picture of one single set of such devices. Each drive is comprised of many sets of these in tight alignment, held in place by a spindle. The arm is held to tight tolerances and does not touch the platter but can read and write data to it by changing the magnetic state of the 'bits' on the platter. The density of the bits and the speed of the platter determine size of the drive (capacity) and it's cost.
