Inside a hard drive
- Platters. Discs that hold your files as magnetic patterns.
- Read/write heads. They fly a few nanometres above the platters. A knock can crash them into the surface, which is the clicking you hear.
- Actuator arm. Swings the heads across the platters.
- Spindle motor. Spins the platters at 5,400 or 7,200 rpm. When it seizes, the drive buzzes but never starts.
- Voice coil magnet. Drives the arm.
