Assalamu Alaikum steem poleople I hoope you guyss are injoying it Tooday my post is abaout soome seccrets inforamation about compoter hardd dissk
1. Hidden S.M.A.R.T. Data (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology)**
- Hard drives track their own health, including bad sectors, temperature, and power-on hours.
-Picture ideaA screeenshoot of a tool like CrystalDiskInfo showing warnings or failing sectors. - Secret: Even a "heaalthy" drive can fail suddenly—S.M.A.R.T. isn’t fooolproof.
2. Data Remains After Deletion (Recoverable!)**
- When you delete a file, it’s only marked as "deleted"—the data stays until overwritten.
- Picture idea: A hex editor view showing raw data from a "deleted" file.
- Secret: Governments/militaries use degaussing (strong magnets) or shredding to truly erase HDDs.
3. HDDs Have an Air Filter Inside (Sealed Environment)**
- Traditional HDDs have a tiny air filter to equalize pressure (but are NOT airtight
- Picture idea A disassembled HDD with the filter visible near the platters
--Secret Opening an HDD outside a cleanroom ruins it due to dust

4. SSDs Wear Ouut Over Time (Limeited Write Cycles)**
- SSDs use NAND flash memory which degrades after ~3,000–100,000 writes per cell
- Picture ideaA SSD health report showing "TBW" (Terabytes Written) near its limit.
- Secret SSDs slow down as they fill up due to garbage collection struggles
5. Hidden Factory Service Areas (Firmware Secrets)**
-- HDDs have a service area storing firmware and bad sector maps—accessible only via special tools.
- Picture idea A terminal showing low-level ATA commands to access the service area.
- Secret: Some data recovery experts modify this zone to revive "diead" drives
