Take a look at the inside workings of a hard drive from power up, to format and power down. Don't try this with a good hard drive!

- Glass hard drive covers?
I think it would be nice to have glass covers on hard drives. Mount them externally :) Then watch the disk defrag process :)

Some Raptor X HDs (Western Digital) have transparent covers.

Besides, it's easy to mod that yourself if you ain't all thumbs :-)3264905 - ain't all thumbs?
havnt heard that one in a while
By ninjaguy64 1176587497 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove4934817 - no
it is very hard to do it yourself as you would need a clean area to do it in, one spec of dust and that HD is gone. good luck :P

it actually busts the dust at near 7200RPM.

By DisPlay 1164863616 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveVery nicely done. The first time I've ever seen an opened hard drive when it's actually doing something.

By scale1982 1164843022 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'm always wondring how the Stepper motor works when the hard disk works. thanks for the video.
By Maximum_LiMiT 1164732268 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- it is not a stepper motor
The drive arm actuator is a simple lateral voice coil motor. The motor that drives the spindle is a stepper motor, but I don't think it was what you were referring to. I'm not even sure if it can go into a detent (hold) mode.
By computergod 1166230934 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Some early drives did use real stepper motors, but I doubt you would find that in any drive over 40megs. Biggest one I have that does that is a 10meg drive. The heads on those drives move laterally (straight up and down), not from a vector like modern drives.
Though some very large, old drives do have arms that work like the newer ones. I have a 40meg one from 1981 that uses a 1/6hp motor to power the spindle that has arms that move from vertex. It has a smoke colored see-through enclosure. It had a molex power line for the electronics and a household AC line for the spindle motor. Coolest drive ever.3687396
So '''THAT''' was what the sound comin from my laptop was
By tr-derin 1216585702 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt's good that you put the warning afterwards to those who just might try it. Anyway, it's certainly a very creative way to make sure that no one ever gets a hold of personal data—making a video and most likely giving the drive a death sentence in the process that is.

By jebaa 1165030482 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- He does have a nice voice though.
And he provides us with a lot of clips. Personally I find some interesting, some not so interesting... some useful; some not so useful. Just because you're not interested in the subject matter, doesn't mean he ought not to make them. I'm not interested in all the many many pictures of cars, but I don't leave a comment on them saying they're boring and shouldn't be on metacafe. I just leave them for the people who DO like cars.
