Figure 8-1 An enclosed HDD (top) and an opened HDD (bottom)

The aluminum platters are coated with a magnetic medium. Two tiny

read/write heads service each platter, one to read the top of the platter and the

other to read the bottom of the platter (see Figure 8-2). Each head has a bitsized

platter-based hard drives.
