HARD DRIVE 101

 

On the outside edge was a strip of metal tape with the wording “Void warranty if removed” (Sorry Western Digital I guess I voided the warranty) I removed that so I could get the cover off.

 

 

The screws holding it in were a different kind. It looked like a star with six points to it, so I had to use a special tool (called a Torx). Unscrewing it was a snap and it opened up no problem.

 

 

Once you take the cover off you expose the heart of the hard drive.  Need less to say I could not put it back on and use it because it was sealed so no moisture or dust could get at it.

The disk is actually called, put in technical terms the “platter”. The platter is where all your data is stored. You can see an arm extending over the platter. (Kind of reminds me of a record player).
