The structure of a hard drive

Here’s a video in which i will present to you the structure of a hard drive. Starting from the jumper and IDE connector area to the structure of the platter you will find out most of the stuff you need to know about a hard drive.

In this video i dissembled my old Matrox hard drive which died on me, it’s main boot sectors are screwed and has lots and lots of BAD on it.

And now all there is left to say is: Enjoy the video and feel free to comment ;)

    Hey Tom.
    This video is absolutely interesting for me, ’cause I’ve never seen inside the hard drive :)
    I didn’t know that there are two powerful magnets in it.
