Magnetic cylinders are typically found in the hard disk drive (HDD) of a computer. These cylinders are part of the magnetic platters that store data by magnetizing surfaces in different patterns to represent binary information. The read/write heads move over these cylinders to access or modify the stored data. In contrast, solid-state drives (SSDs) use flash memory and do not contain magnetic components.
