Was bored tonight so a little play with Raynox 250

Hard drive read-write heads no more than about 1mm.

Testing Raynox 250 on internal components of broken hard drive.
These heads are tiny about 1mm and are right on the tip of the Actuator arms so I was well happy with this result....

The heads read and write the information to and from the drive platter. Heads are also called read-write heads. The heads write bits of magnetic information onto the platter. The closer the head is to the platter, the more efficiently it is able to read information, but a close-mounted head is more likely to have contact with a platter, potentially damaging the information. Each platter requires one head for each surface of the hard drive that needs to be read simultaneously by the head. So, if you have a two-side platter in your hard drive, you need two heads to read the sides of the platter.

Just to give an idea of the size of this data head I took a quick shot of it out of the circuit up against the smallest coffee gradual I could pick up lol....

That's a cracking macro Owe. I sold mine to fund for the 60mm. A bit of me wishes I could have kept it when I see things like this. Nice one.

Should be happy with result Owen, good detailed image. Can see you having lots of fun in the future with the Raynox

Thanks Dave its took a while to get use to lol will keep practising mate.

Thanks Mark it takes a bit of practise with Raynox (well a lot really) but will get there hopefully..

I can relate Owen with me using the screw on Macro/Close up lenses, great when you start getting results

cool..........................

I like that, it's a bit different! Well done!

xx

Thanks again mate....

Thank you again Laura yeah I will be doing insects and the usual when I get use to Raynox but I also like to try different stuff to....
