why hard disk is made of ceramics?

Answer:

Not all hard disks are. They used to all be made of aluminum, and may still are. Today they also use glasses and ceramics because they can be made thinner and still have the tensile strength to withstand the forces from high-speed rotation. 10,000+ RPM in a modern drive. Ceramic is also much better in handling and dissipating heat.
