| Illustration of an internal hard disk drive (HDD) showing its key components. The platter, a circular metallic disk, is visible and allows data storage. The actuator arm, which reads and writes data, extends over the platter. The spindle keeps the platters spinning, while the logic board connects the drive to the computer. The rectangular casing is typically metallic and protects the internal components. Connectors for power and data transfer are located at the front of the device. |
