FiB3R Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 So shiny :) There are a couple of pretty strong magnets in there, that are worth keeping. Flae_qui 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neu B Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 To me, the most insane thing about HDDs is the heads. They don't touch the platters but they can suck up the info from them. LOL yeah, sorry for the suck up term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze_Zewi Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Keep the disc platter incase you are lost and need to signal a SOS :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Nice, this reminds me of something, has anyone seen a laptop drive from an external HDD but instead of a SATA header it has a mini USB connector ON the board? I had to try and recover data a couple of weeks ago and was lucky as I was able to bend the pins in the connector to get a stable connection. It was something I have never seen before. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted November 20, 2013 MVC Share Posted November 20, 2013 I remember back in 2002 I had a 30GB or maybe it as a 60GB 10,000 RPM SCSI hard drive. Holy Christ that ****er was fast!. That thing booted Windows XP like nobodies business. But Holy ball sack did that hard drive get HOT, you would practically burn yourself if you were to touch it after an hour.
