Week 6: Muddy

Well, week six came, and with it brought a whole host of new topics that I hardly understood. The most perplexing of all the topics this week was the pdf of disk storage. I would never have imagined how much is going on inside of my hard drive right now. I found the fact that the hard drive spins at up to 10,000 rpm incredible, seeing as most race cars have trouble getting to those speeds.

Wikipedia had quite a lot to add here, but all in all I felt that after looking through the pdf a few times I gained a good understanding of the functions of a hard drive and the different types that exist. The Wikipedia page does not really go into the different types the same way the teacher had it in the lesson, but does further explain accessing and storage.
