[QUOTE 4727708, member: 9609"]Its impossible isn't it. that disk whizzing around at over a 10,000rpm and that little arm bouncing back and forward collecting 100 million pieces of info a second from incredibly precise locations. How much space on a disk does one byte occupy (in fractions of a sq mm) and that arm finds it and reads it at up to 100million x a second The whole process has to be impossible - it must be made up / fake - it can't possibly happen.[/QUOTE]
When I took apart the first HD, I felt overwhelmed with guilt for destroying such a beautiful piece of precision engineering. What do they sell for...£40 or something? You can only marvel at human ingenuity, and feel humbled by one's own pitiful efforts.
