We all know about hard disk it generally used to store data. I'm going to tell you the technology of a hard disk.

EIDE Hard Drives:
Like so many other parts of the PC, industry standards define two common types of hard drives: EIDE and SCSI.

EIDE stands for Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics and SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface.

Most PCs use EIDE drives. EIDE and SCSI drives can co-exist in the same PC. SCSI drives show up in high-end PCs such as network servers or graphics workstations.

Hard disk drive components:
1) Disk platter

2) Read/write head

3) Head arm/head slider

4) Head actuator mechanism

5) Spindle motor

6) Logic board

7) Air filter

8) Bezel

9) Cable & connectors
