	Hard disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hard disks are also found in network attached storage (NAS) devices, but for large volumes of data may be most efficiently used in a storage area network (SAN).
		For many years, hard disks were large, cumbersome devices, more suited to use in the protected environment of a data center or large office than in a harsh industrial environment (due to their delicacy), or small office or home (due to their size and power consumption).
		Most microcomputer hard disk drives in the early 1980s were not sold under their manufacturer's names, but by OEMs as part of larger peripherals (such as the Corvus Disk System and the Apple ProFile).

	Hard disk recorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hard disk recorder is a type of recording system that utilizes a high-capacity hard disk to record digital audio or digital video.
		Hard disk recording systems represent an alternative to more traditional reel-to-reel tape or cassette multitrack systems, and provide editing capabilities unavailable to tape recorders.
		Hard disk recorders are often combined with a digital mixing console and are an inherent part of a digital audio workstation.

	Hard disk - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The disk surface and the drive's internal environment must therefore be kept immaculately clean to prevent damage from fingerprints, hair, dust, smoke particles, etc. given the submicroscopic gap between the heads and disk.
		Hard disks are also found in network attached storage (NAS) devices, but for large volumes of data are most efficiently used in a storage area network (SAN).
		Before the early 1980s, most hard disks had 8-inch or 14-inch platters, required an equipment rack or a large amount of floor space (especially the large removable-media drives, which were often referred to as "washing machines"), and in many cases needed special power hookups for the large motors they used.

	Hard Disk Platters Encyclopedia Article @ TheEntireWeb.com (The Entire Web) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A hard disk platter (or disk) is a component of a hard disk drive: it is the circular disk on which the magnetic data are stored.
		In the hard disk drive the hard drive heads fly and move radially over the surface of the spinning platters to read or write the data.
		A typical bit on a hard disk platter (in 2006) is about 200-250 nanometers wide (in the radial direction of the platter) and extends about 25-30 nanometers in the down-track direction (the circumferential direction on the platter), corresponding to about 100 billion bits (Gigabits) per square inch of disk area.

	Hard Disk Sector Structures
		Early hard disks had just a single one-sided platter, while today's hard disks are comprised of several platters with tracks on both sides, all of which comprise the entire hard disk capacity.
		Early hard disks had the same number of sectors per track location, and in fact, the number of sectors in each track were fairly standard between models.
		Early hard disks were extremely primitive, and their controllers weren't capable of handling complicated arrangements such as being able to change tracks.

		In 2006, a typical workstation hard disk might store between 80 GB and 500 GB of data, rotate at 7,200 to 10,000 rpm, and have a sequential media transfer rate of over 50 MB/s.
		Most of the world's hard disks are now manufactured by just a handful of large firms: Seagate, Maxtor (acquired by Seagate in 2006), Western Digital, Samsung, and Hitachi, the former drive manufacturing division of IBM.

	Hard Disk Recovery
		Disk recovery specialists have no clue about the organization of graphic data inside of the AutoCAD DWG file and our DWG recovery wizards have just the basic, common knowledge of the logical / physical organization of data on the disk.
		Therefore IntelCAD Systems is not fixing damaged hard disks, optical disks or magnetic tapes and a disk recovery company cannot do much with a DWG file that was rescued at OS level, but has, for example, a missing table of AutoCAD object handles.
		When a disk recovery company is trying to rescue your disk, they try to put together pieces of files scattered all over the disk, using their knowledge of physical and logical data organization on the disk.

	Hard-Disk Risk - CSO Magazine - April 2003
		One key reason for today's poor disk sanitization practices is that it's very difficult to tell the difference between a disk that has been properly sanitized and one that's simply been reformatted.
		Given the relatively low cost of hard drives, there is no reason not to physically cut up the hard drive being discarded, thereby removing the slightest doubt as to the security of the information contained therein.
		However, if the data on the hard drive is the least bit sensitive, follow the lead of many defense contractors and send the drive through a metal chipper instead of letting it out of the organization (this prevents even sophisticated data recovery methods).

		Stan Brown had a page on hard disk partitioning that was very informative and gives good value for your time - it talks of partitions, the why and how of it.
		A few times, I have given a format c: /u command by error on the wrong disk and realizing my mistake when the format has gone 60 or 70% I had pressed the panic button and noted with pleasant surprise that the hard disk was just the same as before I started the format operation.
