Really? What kind of hard drive has a big flat magnet inside?
Most modern ones that use voice coil positioning for the heads.
All do in fact, stepper motor head positioning is long gone now.
That defies all logic on the principals of how a hard drive works.
Cunning design (the N and S poles share the same face) and a bit
of shielding keep the magnetic field contained and the platters safe.
