"head crash" prevod sa engleskog na srpski

Množina: head crashes

A hard disk failure in which a read/write head, normally supported on a cushion of air only millionths of an inch thick, comes into contact with the platter, damaging the magnetic coating in which data is recorded. Still more damage occurs when the head picks up material gouged out of the surface and pushes it. A head crash can be caused by mechanical failure or by heavy shaking of the disk drive. If the crash occurs on a directory track, the whole disk may become instantly unreadable.
(Computer science) A crash of a read/write head in a hard disk drive (usually caused by contact of the head with the surface of the magnetic disk).
