A small motor in the drive rotates the diskette at a regulated speed, while a second motor-
operated mechanism moves the magnetic read–write head,(or heads, if a double-sided
drive) along the surface of the disk.
Wisegeek
A motor spins the disk and does so at a rate of at least 360 revolutions per second.
The stepper motor is responsible for moving the read/write heads where they need to be.

Drive Motor
1. The drive motor is a mechanism designed to spin the hub, or the center of the
floppy disk. Once the disk starts to spin, data is recorded onto different parts of
the magnetic disk.
Stepper Motor
2. This device is attached to the read/write heads on the disk. It is responsible for
locating the exact position on the floppy disk on which to read, record or erase
data. The stepper motor spins the disk to this exact location before any data is
erased or recorded.
