I want to post an article that aims to make you know what exactly the hard
drive it, divided over how hard and hard parts. For more details, read the
following article.
understanding Hardisk
Hard drive storage is designed to be used to save the data in a large capacity.
This is a background application that does not allow programs to be in one disk
and also require large storage media files such as a database
function Hardisk
• Notebook serves as a primary data storage on a computer or laptop
Types of Hard Drive
-
ATA
AT Attachment (ATA) is an interface standard for Menghu
¬ bungkan storage
devices such as hard disk,
CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM
drive on the computer.
ATA stands for Advanced
Technology Attachment. ATA Standard is managed by
a committee named X3/INCITS T13. ATA
also has several other names, such as IDE and ATAPI. Since the introduction
of the latest version of the
ATA called Serial
ATA, ATA version
is then called Parallel
ATA (PATA) to
distinguish it from the new version of Serial ATA.

SATA
SATA is the development of the ATA. SATA
is defined as a technology that is designed to replace the ATA in total. Serial
ATA adapters can
accommodate data transfer speeds
higher than a simple ATA
Notebook parts
platter
Form a plate or dish that serves as a storage
data.Berbentuk round, a compact disc, has a
magnetic pattern on
the flanks permukaanya.Platter metal containing millions
of tiny magnets called magnetic domain.Domain-this domain arranged in one or two
directions to represent the binary
"1" and "0"
In this dish consists
of some of the tracks, and
some sectors, where
track and sctor
this is a data storage
and file system.
For example, our hard drives with a capacity of 40 GB, when the format was not until
the 40 Gb capacity. because they have no trac
and sectors used to store the ID is the identifier of formatting
the hard drive.
The number plate of
each disk is different, depending on the technology used and the capacity of the hard-disk each harddisk.Untuk latest release, usually a plate has a capacity of 10 to 20 Gigabyte.Contohnya a capacity
of 40 Gigabyte hard drive,
usually consisting of two plates, each with a capacity of 20 Gigabyte.
Spindle
Spindle
is a place to put platter.Poros shaft has a drive that serves to rotate the
disk plate called a spindle motor.Spimdle whose role is involved in determining
the quality the faster hard drive because putaranya, meaning the better the
quality harddisknya.Satuan to measure the velocity is
Rotation Per Minutes or referred RPM.Ukuran we often hear for the rotational
speed of 5400 RPM, among others, 7200 RPM or 10000 RPM.
Head
This
tool serves to read the data on the surface of the plate and the plate
dalamnya.Setiap record information to disk has two surfaces head.Satu above and
the other below the surface.
Head
is in the form of an electromagnetic device that is placed on a surface plate
and attaches to a slider.Slider attached to a handle which is attached to the
actuator arm mounted arms.Actuator dead on the actuator shaft by a board called
the logic board.
Therefore,
when the hard work should not be any shock or vibration, because the head can
swipe hard disk so that it will lead to bad sectors, and can also cause damage
that Head Hard disk can no longer read the Track and Sector of the hard disk.
Logic Board
Logic
Board is a board operating on the hard drive, which contained the logic Board
Notebook Bios so hard when connected to the Mother Board automatically
recognize the hard drive, such as Maxtor, Seagete etc.. besides
the Logic Board Bios hard drive is also a switch or Power Supply and
distribution of data from the hard drive to the motherboard Head Board for ki
control by Processor.
Setting Jumper
Each hardis has jumper settings, function to
determine the position of the hard drive.
IDE connector
Actual Axis
Is a shaft for a handle or a robotic arm that
can be read sctor Head of the hard drive.
Is
the connecting cable between the hard drive with matherboard to send or receive
data.
Ribbon Cable
Ribbon cable is the liaison between the
Head to the Logic Board, where each document or data read by the Head will be
sent to the Logic Board to the next in order to send to Mother Board Processor
can process the data in accordance with the received input.
Currently
the average hard drive is already using the system so it does not require a
SATA ribbon cable (Cable IDE)
When installed on a computer hard drive 2 pieces, then by setting Setting
Jumper we can determine where the hard drive where the Primary and Secondary hard
disk is usually called Master and Slave.
Master is the main hard drive where the system is installed, while the Slave is
the second hard drive is usually required for storage of documents and data. When
Jumper setting is not set, then the hard drive will not work.
Power connector
Is a source of direct current from the power
supply. Power supply to the hard
drive there are two parts:
1. Voltage
12 Volt, serves to move the disc and mechanical as Head.
2. Voltage
of 5 volts, is used to power on the Logic Board mesupply to work to send and
receive data.
