What is a hard drive?

A hard drive, hard disk or HDD is as data storage device and one of the most important pieces of a computer, server, mac or laptop with a primary function to magnetically store and retrieve digital data located on its rotating disks.

Internal hard drives share several key components responsible for its operations and unlike an SSD, Flash Drive or SD card the hard disk components must spin. The main ones are a printed circuit board or PCB which is a blue or green circuit board located on the bottom of the storage media with a primary function of supplying power and signal handling. The read write heads responsible for reading and writing the bytes that make up files and a hard drive platter which is the aluminum-glass composite circular disk or disks that physically store the bytes.

Modern hard drives are a technological marvel and contain numerous highly sensitive components easily susceptible to physical, electrical, mechanical or logical failures.

Interested to learn the nerdy technical details of how a hard drive works?

Most Common Hard Drive Failure Types

The most common physical and electrical problems include bad sectors, read-write head crash, firmware corruption, PCB failure or motor bearing failure. Any of which will cause the hard drive to cease normal operations and require an invasive hands-on repair inside a specialized cleanroom environment. In addition to a physical damage our technicians recover data from logical issues caused by overwritten data or malware effected external drives needing manual file recovery and repair.
