To people who continuously ask, how can someone invent all of this. This is not merely work on one individual person, Engineering is a field that builds on top of previously uncovered knowledge. This is work of hundreds of individuals who have made contributions over centuries and centuries, through their work in Mathematics, or Physics, or any other discipline related to those two. The knowledge acquired by individuals over centuries has allowed us to build everything you see around you today. This wasn't invented in a single day. But, regardless, it's still amazing how the knowledge is understood and applied by Engineers to build these machines.

Doing a research project on HDDs. Learned how one of the founders of the company (Shugart) used to work for IBM and was tasked with consolidating data stored on thousands of punch cards. The data on the punch cards was essentially the 1s and 0s explained in the video. So insane how after so much advancement in the technology, the fundamental step of reading 1s and 0s (true/false, north/south) is what governs the whole mechanism's structure.

If your data is on a Seagate, seriously U need 2 back all that $hit up onto a real hard drive, like a samsung, or even a Hitachi. Seagate is the worst of 'modern' drives. B 4 that it was junk like 'Micropolis'. The corporation is run by azzholes who pretend gouging & scamming to run the flood waters through the industrial park in Thailand with WD after undercutting competitors via 'dumping' ($ubsidizing) then buying them up & pretending there is a 'shortage' is some kind of big sick joke that earns them 'respect'. No, your products are $hit & I will just keep buying 'pre either' drives from other brands like pre-Seagate Samsung (B 4 U $tole the name & peddle $eagate GARBAGE in it's 'name'). Samsung (pre-seagate) are the most reliable drives I've ever used, but NOTHING is perfect =) Some die yes...

bits, data, 0,1. They do not exist. They are human abstraction, human language for folks who don't understand physics. When yoiu look at what actually is going on is, magnetic field in the case of hard drive. North pole cause current to flow one way, and south pole cause current to flow the other way. It is these oscillations that transport energy that we experience and perceive as words, pictures, sound, etc. Human perception as the brain operate. Energy stored in either magnetic fiedl or electric field. Capacitors in whatever form or other names, store energy in electric field and it also has oscillations. The problem with computer science is the real thing is hidden and covered up with abstractions. Machine language. Nope, wrong. it is not machine language, it is our language. Machines do not read 0 and 1. You won't find it anywhere, no such thing. You animate 0 and 1 as if it is actually spitting out of that head. It doesn't. How stupid. But the stupidity is repeated bilions of times and then it becomes a substitute for the actual. And it works. And when you push it, where is the 0 and 1, they will show you the animations... that is right.

It's more amazing, but makes the evolution of it have more sense, when you look up the original hard drive created by IBM in the 1950s. Those metal platters where a few feet across each and a dozen where stacked up. The whole thing had to be encased inside steel beams because it was so large and heavy. It was just then a matter of shrinking down the size. Also the magnetic iron particles use to go either left or right for "0" or "1". Eventually they made it go up or down, which allowed more particles to fit in the same space.

Excellent explanation, especially for newbies wondering how these things work. There's a lot of science that goes into this. The only downside is that Seagate do not put as much effort into quality control and quality parts as Western Digital. WD have far less defective drives, and drives that break prematurely. Which is why their warranties tend to be longer and their drives more expensive.
