I actually ran into this question just a few moments ago:
https://serverfault.com/questions/12025/intro-to-laptop-hard-drives
The first answer is the one that caught my attention.
Apparently, there are pins created for data flow (information) and other pins made for power supply. And I am currently not aware of any, but that means there may be pins for other things as well.
Are data pins and power pins identical to each other (meaning are they made of same material, configuration, structure, etc)? I have never taken an EE class before, so I was also wondering how the number of pins are decided upon (for instance, in that jpg image there are 6 data pins and 9 power pins).
