 =HARD DRIVE =

Jackson Bentley - 2nd period A hard drive is a metal disk that spins rapidly. like a CD, that stores all of your data in your computer. On some computers that are used for storing information or that you do a lot of saving to the computer could have sometimes two or three hard drives.



Triston Gray - 3rd period
===A hardrive is the "brain" of the compter it stores the computers memory.It also holds the job of spining the compact disc (CD) if it is a CD-R you can read the memory on the CD-R, but if it is a CD-RW you may write or read the information on the disc. ===

=== <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #1e0101; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left">A hard drive is more or less the "BRAIN" of the computer. The hard drive is a disk on the inside of the computer. It is on the inside because it's not sopposed to be removed. The hard drive stores all of the information that is on your computer. Its like a big storage bin. The hard drive takes all of the items saved on your computer and keeps them. <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left">  <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left">  <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left">  <span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">  <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">     <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">The picture above shows what an ordinary hard drive looks like ... on the outside. <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">  <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">   <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">   <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">   <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">    <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">      <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: #050000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">This picture shows what a hard drive looks like on the inside except this one is broken.

=== <span style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">The hard disk drive, other wise known as Hard Drive, is the part in the tower case that you slip the disk into and it puts your info from the computer onto the disk. The Hard disk drive has 5 main parts: The Disk Motor, The Actuator arm motor, The Read/Write head, Actuator arm, and The Disk. The Disk Motor is the motor that changes electric energy into mechanical energy so that the disks can rotate several thousand times per minute. The Actuator arm motor is basically like the disk motor but it converts energy so that it can move the actuator arm according to the computers constructions. The Actuator arm is the movable arm that holds the read/write head and moves the head across the surface of the disk. The Read/Write head is the object that puts the stored data from the computer to the disk or vise versa. And finally the disk is the object that you put into your computer that stores all your files. ===
