Post How a hard drive works
Yea, we all know the basics, probably, but this video is really well done and goes into specifics I had no clue about. Actually really interesting, at least to my nerdy self. Also surprisingly accessible.

Always a good idea to touch a component that has a power wire attached to it. Otherwise its brilliant, short and informative.
