A hard disk drive with the disks and spindle motor hub removed. In the center, the internal structure of the spindle motor can be seen. To the left of center is the actuator with a read-write head under the tip of its very end (near center); the orange wires along the side of the arm are part of the path the signals take to and from the read-write head. The flexible, somewhat 'U'-shaped, ribbon cable barely visible below and to the left of the actuator arm is another part of its path connecting the head to the controller board on the opposite side.
