A Hard Drive in Action

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.

The next Hdd I get, I'll record a video of it doing this, How do you think he got it to boot so quick? Standby?

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

thermoelectric says: Dec 25, 2008. 8:10 PM

Yeah, That's possible.....

You know, I still haven't seen a video of an HDD doing this from you...

thermoelectric says: Apr 16, 2010. 6:37 AM

You are right. I need to try to do this one day.

puffyfluff (author) says: Nov 17, 2008. 7:48 PM

Yeah, it's the head going back and forth to delete and/or access fragmented bits.

Darn, Why did I have to pull apart all those old HDD's (20+) that I got from the computer store...

puffyfluff (author) says: Oct 10, 2008. 3:26 PM

Wow, that's pretty lucky.

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

thermoelectric says: Oct 10, 2008. 3:32 PM

They were all supposedly broken (i should of tested them before my ripping apart piece of mind came in) and some were 120gb!

JellyWoo says: Oct 28, 2008. 3:32 PM

thermoelectric says: Oct 28, 2008. 11:35 PM

thermoelectric says: Nov 3, 2008. 1:13 PM

Yeah, But they wouldn't be big, Although my dad found a 5KVA Generator at the dump, and it just needed to be cleaned up and it works.....

JellyWoo says: Nov 3, 2008. 5:29 PM

thermoelectric says: Nov 3, 2008. 9:19 PM
