underscor: the pin is the "main pole" or whatever the phrase is |
|
20:36
๐
|
dnova |
the whole thing comprises the write head (and afaik it doubles as read head) |
|
20:36
๐
|
dnova |
the actual data is written in that ~100 nanometer gap |
|
20:37

The line on the pin? |

20:37
๐
|
underscor |
Also, what's all that cruft above it? |

20:37

yeah where it's sort of chopped off, so to speak |

20:37

(not visible in that picture) |

But in the optical one, there's all that rough stuff at the end |

underscor |
Circled there |
|
20:38
๐
|
dnova |
I'm not sure. The rough stuff is silver particles. My best guess right now is that it is a ground and the silver powder is just the connection method they used to connect the grounded armature to the gold traces |
|
20:38
๐
|
dnova |
it only goes to the head substrate... |

and this? http://spielme.com/sem/misc/ball%20bond.jpg |
|
20:41
๐
|
dnova |
that is the first sem image I ever took |
|
20:41
๐
|
dnova |
it's just a gold ball bond on an integrated circuit package |

Oh okay |

20:42

|
underscor |
sem photos are so cool |
|
20:42
๐
|
dnova |
it was subject to some kind of g-force test |
|
20:42
๐
|
dnova |
some of them fall off or have the wires break |
|
20:43
๐
|
underscor |
Ah |
|
20:43
๐
|
dnova |
a lot of the images there are very old ones :3 |

I was always surprised the magnets in the drive didn't corrupt data |
|
20:44
๐
|
dnova |
the majority of their flux is contained in the vicinity of the voice coil but even if you passed them over the platter surface it is not likely that you would destroy any data |
|
20:44
๐
|
underscor |
Really? |
|
20:45
๐
|
dnova |
in very old drives that use iron powder as the active medium, you would |
|
20:45
๐
|
db48x |
not much flux density |
|
20:45
๐
|
underscor |
So that whole thing about "don't store magnets anywhere near your computer" isn't really a big deal? |
|
20:46
๐
|
dnova |
it was for floppy diskettes |
|
20:46
๐
|
underscor |
Oh, right |
|
20:46
๐
|
underscor |
But for HDs, it's not an issue |
|
20:46
๐
|
db48x |
correct |
|
20:46
๐
|
dnova |
not at all |
|
20:46
๐
|
underscor |
Damn |
|
20:47
๐
|
underscor |
So the substrate used for HDs is a lot less sensitive to outside magnetic influence? |
|
20:47
๐
|
dnova |
yes especially modern perpendicular recording drives. |
|
20:47
๐
|
dnova |
and this is bare platters.... |
|
20:48
๐
|
dnova |
hard drives are *usually* fully assembled in very nice metal boxes |
|
20:49
๐
|
underscor |
So there's effectively more danger from having exposed platters to the environment than there is any magnetic damage... |
|
20:49
๐
|
underscor |
Man, I can't believe I didn't know this :'( |
|
20:49
๐
|
dnova |
oh by far |
|
20:49

Cause a fleck of dust will ruin the whole shebang |

yes... look at this image http://spielme.com/sem/hdhead/sem4.jpg |
