Today we started to dive into the beginning of the A+ program. We started to talk about the ins and outs of Hard Drives. What they do, how they do it, the different kinds of Drives. Many things in such a short amount of time. However I'd like to talk about a certain thing that was brought up in class today.
I learned something about hard drives that I didn't know about. In a hard drive, I learned that Data is stored in a flux. A tiny magnetic Field. This sparked my interest and I decided to dive more into this form of data storage.
I came across this Link.
At this website, it talks about the history of magnetic storage and what it can do today. It also taught me how magnetic storage works. For example it talks about how the Read/Write arm is shaped in a U shape representing the different magnetic polarities, and how the data jumps from one end to the other and data is transferred and written that way. It's very interesting and I hope everyone takes a look at it.
Until Tomorrow,
Quinn.
