Very Nice Question: First of all we start with the Floppy Disk: It is a plastic like magnetic coated material and Head touches it when READ/WRITE IN CD/DVD Drive - there isn't any physical contact between the reading mechanisam and disk. cause in reading mechanisam there is not a magnetic head there is a laser ray which is reflected from the disk data surface and via prism it goes to photosensitive receptor it converts it into 1 or 0 IN HDD: Keep in mind It is aluminium disk platter coated with magnetic material. Here the head is also a magnetic. But it READ/WRITE from the disk with one very minor perticular distance (0.5 to 0.7 micron). because hard disk's spindle motor rotate on the speed of 7200 RPM and above. So if there is any physical contact the head got crashed.........!!!! So handle your HDD with Care. No shocks. Do not use as a Pen drive. Maintain temperature. ... So in HDD head is floating actually on wind flow when accessing the disk.
