Named after the eighteenth-century physicist Daniel Bernoulli and developed by the Iomega Corporation in the 1980s, the Bernoulli drive was first marketed as the "Bernoulli Box" and then as the "Bernoulli."  3, record 1, English, - Bernoulli%20drive

Iomega's founders employed an aerodynamic principle known as the "Bernoulli effect" to pull the [drive's] flexible disk up to [its] read-write heads, where a cushion of air protected the heads from hitting the magnetic storage platter.  2, record 1, English, - Bernoulli%20drive

Platters are typically made from aluminium or glass, plastics are rarely used. A thin layer of either iron oxide or another material that possesses similar magnetic properties coats each side of a hard disk platter in order to store the magnetic information.  2, record 2, English, - platter

The hard-disk drive is a wonder of modern technology, consisting of a stack of disk platters, each one an aluminum alloy or glass substrate coated with a magnetic material and protective layers. Read-write heads, typically located on both sides of each platter, record and retrieve data from circumferential tracks on the magnetic medium. Servomechanical actuator arms position the heads precisely above the tracks, and a hydrodynamic air bearing is used to "fly" the heads above the surface at heights measured in fractions of microinches.  1, record 3, English, - servomechanical%20actuator%20arm

De part et d'autre de chaque plateau, des têtes d'écriture enregistrent des informations en aimantant de petits secteurs, nommés domaines, alignés dans le sens de la longueur selon des pistes concentriques; des têtes de lecture récupèrent l'information en détectant les aimantations. Des bras mécaniques pilotés par des moteurs déplacent les têtes avec précision au-dessus des pistes, tandis qu'un système hydrodynamique ajuste la hauteur des têtes à quelques fractions de micromètres au-dessus de la surface des disques.  1, record 3, French, - bras%20m%C3%A9canique%20pilot%C3%A9%20par%20des%20moteurs
