Hard drive on on of our client’s server went bad so we replaced it. Being curious, I teared it apart just see what’s inside. This is top view before operation. It needed torques not regular screwdriver.
Bottom view.
Removed screws and PCB.
Peeled the label.
Removed visible screws, left some invisible.
Took silver film covering invisible screws.
How it looks inside, plates on right, strong neodymium magnets on left. On the top is drier that keep humidity inside low.
Heads with coil.
Removed one plate.
How it looks without heads and one plate.
