21. How does a hard disk drive store data?

Explanation

A hard disk drive stores data by using a magnet to realign particles on the disk in north/south patterns representing binary code. This is achieved through a process called magnetic recording, where the disk is coated with a magnetic material. The magnet inside the hard drive's read/write head manipulates the magnetic field, causing the particles on the disk to align in specific patterns. These patterns represent binary code, with north and south orientations corresponding to 0s and 1s. By reading the magnetic field, the hard drive can retrieve and store data.
