Mar 31, 2022 at 13:43 comment added hobbs Suggestion for anyone who has the time: write an answer about post-2000 spinning hard drives, PRML, etc. Basically the bits are read and written so fast that you never get a voltage swing into what would normally be considered "0" or "1" territory, the controller just looks at the wiggles and goes "well, given the previous bits, and the response of the media, and the response of the head, this much wiggle probably means a 1, in context". Someone used to good chunky digital tech, seeing that the first time, will generally think "how the crap does that even work?"
