A read/write head is a specific physical part of a hard disk that is responsible for reading data from, and writing data to, the disk. Read/write heads are typically made up of a thin horizontal magnetic blade attached to an actuator arm. By changing the electrical polarity of bits on a magnetic disk, the read/write arm effectively records data to a disk drive.
The read/write head reads from and writes to a round hard disk platter that is housed in the physical drive container. Unlike the disk platter, the actual read/write head is extremely small. In modern disks these parts are designed down to the nanoscale. Simpler read/write heads were eventually replaced with metal-in-gap (MIG) heads, and then by thin-film heads that use different manufacturing processes to create smaller equipment.
Disk read/write heads are the small parts of a disk drive which move above the disk platter and transform the platter's magnetic field into electrical current (read the disk) or, vice versa, transform electrical current into magnetic field (write the disk).[1] The heads have gone through a number of changes over the years.
