Howstuffworks "How Hard Disks Work" Main Computer hardware How Hard disks Work. by Marshall Brain, Nearly every desktopcomputer and server in use today contains one or more harddisk drives. http://www.howstuffworks.com/hard-disk.htm
Extractions: Nearly every desktop computer and server in use today contains one or more hard-disk drives. Every mainframe and supercomputer is normally connected to hundreds of them. You can even find VCR-type devices and camcorders that use hard disks instead of tape . These billions of hard disks do one thing well they store changing digital information in a relatively permanent form. They give computers the ability to remember things when the power goes out. In this edition of HowStuffWorks , we'll take apart a hard disk so that you can see what's inside, and also discuss how they organize the gigabytes of information they hold in files!

Extractions: If you have spent any time at all working with a computer, then chances are good that you have used a floppy disk at some point. The floppy disk drive (FDD) was the primary means of adding data to a computer until the CD-ROM drive became popular. In fact, FDDs have been an key component of most personal computers for more than 20 years. Basically, a floppy disk drive reads and writes data to a small, circular piece of metal-coated plastic similar to audio cassette tape. In this edition of How Stuff Works , you will learn more about what is inside a floppy disk drive and how it works. You will also find out some cool facts about FDDs.

How We Test: Hard Drives - Hardware Reviews - CNET.com CNET hardware Labs How we test Hard drives, evaluate the full range of performanceof a hard disk. filetransfer tests For external hard drives, we run http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-8079207-8-20633111-1.html
Extractions: We run all tests with Windows' display properties set to a 32-bit color depth at a resolution of 1,024x768 and an 85Hz refresh rate. Windows' screensaver is disabled. Additionally, we disable any applications that launch at start-up and set all power-management settings for maximum performance, with no components allowed to power down. We disable System Restore. We run Windows Update, then turn off automatic updating and disable error reporting. We enable write caching on the disk if the hard drive and the interface support it. We enable DMA-transfer mode if the hard drive and the interface support it. Unless otherwise noted, all other settings remain at their defaults. Each test is run a minimum of three times, rebooting between each test.
