Basically a hard disk has a series of round metal platters inside that information is stored on magnetically. The platters spin very quickly (up to 15,000 rpm for the fastest drives) and each platter has a head that reads or writes information to the platters by reading or changing the magnetic fields on the metal platter. If you'd like to know the details on how this happens, check out my source.

It is magnetic storage device which means that it is written by a magnate. This is why load speakers can damage it- they produce sound via a magnet,
Inside it contains many disks (the same as those that can be found in floppy disk) that can be written on both sides and a magmatic needle (like a gramophone).

a hard drive is made up of a metal disk and magnetic tape...
Data is written to the harddrive using a megnetic head and a laser...
Data on computer are stored in BINARY CODE (either 1 or 0 )
1 representing an ON or Positive state
2 representing an OFF or Negative state

This is when people don't have the ability to pay attention. It's a disorder that has been diagnosed to millions. Others call it ADHD.

basically it is electrically charged particles on metal disk got into some pattern thus your data is saved on them.
