硬盘基本知识（国外英文资料） Hard disk knowledge Hard drives or hard drive, is the large volume of PC configuration external memory, the adoption of Winchester Winchester technology, therefore is also called WenPan drive or WenPan. The hard drive is all sealed. The floppy disk, despite the advantages of convenience, saving and replacement, has a small capacity. The Achilles heel of slow speed. For a software system that runs a little bit more, no hard drive is unimaginable. Hard disk drives are very similar to floppy disk systems. The main difference is the manufacturing materials and the speed of the disk. Hard disk is on the aluminium coated a layer of magnetic particles, the speed of the hard drive is about floppy drive speed is more than ten times (hard drive speed above 3600 r/min, and the speed of the floppy disk is only 300 or 360 revolutions per minute) capacity is several dozen times the floppy disk or even thousands of times. Because the speed is much higher, the magnetic medium is strong, and the reading and writing operation is more precise. PC development so far, the hard disk has become one of the main configuration of each class type, capacity from 10 MB in the early development to todays dozens to hundreds of megabytes, gb, TB orders of magnitude, and the price is dive, early 10 MB of hard disk on the more expensive than the price of 1 gb hard drive a few times, visible price fall, hard drive in the PC history is absolutely unit price falls is the largest device, it is also hard drive technology development benefits the biggest sea users. Hard drive type and specification by PC with hard disk according to the fixed way is divided into two kinds, one is stationary, one for the activity type, the so-called fixed disk is fixed in the PC inside the casing, and the capacity is fixed. When capacity is insufficient, can be expanded again another hard disk (can answer the two most commonly); and a removable hard disk like floppy drive, took the form of a disk processing,
