Logic Board On the logic board you will find all circuitry in charge of controlling the hard drive. In these days of highly integrated devices, you will find just three or four big integrated circuits on the logic board, as you can see on Figures 4 and 5. Take a look at the pictures as we will explain more about the circuits pictured below. Figure 4: Logic board from an ATA hard drive. Figure 5: Logic board from a SATA hard drive. The big circuit is the controller. It is in charge of everything: exchanging data between the hard drive and the computer, controlling the motors on the hard drive, commanding the heads to read or write data, etc.
