Hard drive with labeled partitions: /boot 512 MB, /swap 8 GB, /root 100 GB, /home 2 TB, and unallocated space

The image shows a close-up of an open hard drive with its platter divided into five distinct color-coded partitions. Each partition is labeled with its mount point and size: a green segment for /boot (512 MB) and /swap (8 GB), a yellow segment for /root (100 GB), an orange segment for /home (2 TB), and a gray segment indicating unallocated space. The partitions include filesystem types (EXT4, SWAP) and some descriptive text such as ‘small’ and ‘massive’. The drive’s actuator arm is visible, positioned over the platter. The background surface is dark and textured, highlighting the drive’s metallic components and intricate details.
