So I opened this harddisk because it was not spinning and it kept on making a click sound. This is an old harddisk , so I understand that the technology has changed. But I can’t seem to find the read head parking area which most tutorials show or explain. So my question is, which is the resting position of this read head? Also is there a type or version of this sort of hdd?

Just to add that “clean room” is a huge understatement the actual, correct, technical term, when it comes to HDD internals (see below)

I mean it in the industrial sense. An actual clean room.

I think it was a good call out. You recognized that just being inside of a clean bedroom or something isn’t adequate, and it led to my clarification which will probably be useful for a lot of people.
