video A Hard Drive in Action
I found this neat video of a hard drive in action and thought I would share it. It's just kind of interesting.

Idk. It might be a clean install, maybe a linux distro or something. That's a good question.

Wow, that's pretty lucky.

It is kind of sad to see them go to waste, though...
