Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Computer hard disk assembly
Computer hard disk assembly. Component parts of a hard disk showing the outer aluminium casing (top), the hard disk platter and read/write head (centre), and the controller electronics (bottom). Data are stored on (written) and recalled from (read) the hard disc by changing the electromagnetism of the platter, which is coated with magnetic material. The read/write head (metal arm at centre) can move over the spinning platter 50 times per second. The electronic circuitry controls the movement of the read/write head and the motor that spins the platter. It also organizes the assembly of magnetic domains on the platter in which data are stored

Discover the intricacies of technology with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of a Computer Hard Disk Assembly. This scientific masterpiece, sourced from Science Photo Library, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the complex workings of a hard disk drive. Observe in detail as the outer aluminum casing gives way to reveal the hard disk platter and the precision-engineered read/write head, while the controller electronics lie hidden at the base. A perfect addition to any tech-enthusiast's workspace or educational institution, this print is a testament to human innovation and engineering prowess.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 51.5cm (16.5" x 20.3")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate assembly of a computer hard disk. The image provides a detailed view of the various component parts that make up this essential technology. At the top, we can observe the outer aluminium casing, which protects and encloses the inner workings of the hard disk. Moving towards the center, our attention is drawn to the mesmerizing hard disk platter and read/write head. These critical elements work in harmony to store and retrieve data by altering electromagnetism on the magnetic-coated platter. Remarkably, the read/write head has an impressive capability to move over this spinning platter an astonishing 50 times per second. The bottom section of this composition reveals another crucial element: controller electronics. This electronic circuitry plays a vital role in controlling both the movement of the read/write head and motor responsible for spinning the platter. Additionally, it organizes magnetic domains on which data are stored with precision. This exploded view offers us a glimpse into how computer data storage functions at its core – through advanced technology seamlessly integrating metal components with electromagnetic properties. As we marvel at this photograph's intricate details, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in harnessing memory capabilities within compact devices like these hard disks.
