    Because some people don't get just HOW fucking precise these read and write heads operate, I wanna give you a metaphor to better understand how insane this technology actually is.
    These "flying height" as it is typically called in the tech industry is roughly 10nm above the surface of the drive, that is 0,00001mm or about the width of 100 hydrogen atoms. 100 atoms above the platter at a speed of 7200rpm which, for a 3,5" drive, is about 70km/h. This is so close and fast that even a dust particle or a finger print on the platter would have enough height to touch the head and cause a head crash.
    Now Linus was actually a bit off with his fly and hurricane comparison, in fact it's MUCH more difficult and MUCH more precise.
    You can compare what a hard drive actually accomplishes to a pilot that flies a Boeing 747 full of passengers around the equator with about 1500km/h just 2 inches above a lawn and while doing that he doesn't even touch a single blade of grass in over 500 rounds.

      This is why QLC NAND (4 bits per cell) is going to be such a huge change in the industry. Although, because of scale and current maching, HDDs with various tech like HMR, are going to do well for a while longer. QLC NAND brings down price per TB considerably and sizing for density. For example, Samsung's M.3 sticks (slightly wider than M.2) are going to be 16TB QLC NAND. You can but one Petabyte easily in a 1U rack chassis. This'll be good for consumers like us too for bulk storage.

      Its just improvements and optimizations of the same engineering design.

      I don't agree, a hard drive magnetic plate can hold information much longer than an SSD flash nand architecture, if the heads fail, it's recoverable, however, an SSD is much harder to recover, and it's usually used as caché between RAM and magnetic disks on server rooms (based on locality principle), truly permanent data is stored in magnetic drives, because of capacity and easier recovery of damaged hardware. Aaand, SSD tend to fail more than usual hard drives, and that's because of limited R/W accesses of the nand flash memory; that could mean nothing on a desktop computers, but in cluster rooms can mean true hell.

    the recovery software they're using reminds me of the built in setup from my family's first computer. IBM Aptiva running Win95, after about 8 years of use, the drive started failing. any time we turned on the pc, it would try to go into a data recovery mode, where it analyzed each block of data to see if it had good or bad sectors. every time we ran it, we'd get more and more bad sectors. thankfully by that time we had 2 computers, to which i more or less commandeered the other for myself

    As someone that did data recovery for a bit. This place is much better than the place I worked. -_- The place claimed to be one of the most advanced data recovery places in the world, but they trained me inside a regular office space (not clean room), and only had me work on around 10 drives before having me start working on customer drives.
    They also didn't have head combs for us here in the US. Instead, we were given pieces of paper to fold over and over again to make it the right distance for the heads instead of the combs shown here (people in the UK had combs), and if we did a platter swap, was just normal address labels sticky side to the side of the platters, lift and hope it didn't fall apart. Not all places are equal.

    • @peterjohnson9438
