[TimDwg]

It would be really funny if the guy realized he had some important files on the drive after he started scratching it up with the screwdriver.

[ForgottenP]

[theaquagod]

[produKtNZ]

The funny part is, I have a video similar to this, just not as nasty and my video also end's with it going in the bin, on film :D

[4412ag]

[Xaocka]

[waterloo794]

@nollydolly99 i lol'd so hard !!!

[Viking009]

STOP TORTURING IT



[tony8999]

its been 4 years where is the video with you destroying it with fire??!

[bell1876]

you should really get out more son.

[philerskine]

Mate, you can make a pretty good sander/grinder out this because of the high spin rate.

shit's so cash

[jaycox2000]

AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! MY EARS

[punchmaster123]

what is that round metal thing?

[RubidiumCinema]

@punchmaster123 The hard disk everything is written on...

[mepizzasmangled]

@punchmaster123 the disk

[robertrivasphotos]

Zoloft doing wonderful things for you mates!

[iPawnzz1]

For a 2007 video. the quality is pretty good!

[jbobtorrey]

Engineers don't design with this in mind...but maybe they should :D

[Ravedave5]

@chrisphergroup You are very misinformed, but thank you for your concern. Even the slowest hard drives rotate at 4k RPM. Most are 5400 or 7200 RPM. The motor spinning the disks is very very low torque, and the platters are made of solid metal, they won't shatter.

[LandauTST]

*hdd in trashcan in Rodney Dangerfield's voice* I get no respect....

[yourgamemaster110]

lol 4:55 no bad bad!

[NFSVIDEOCHANNEL]

ooh I heard the old hdd screaming for help

[edgajam]

I'll put some sand paper on my Hard drive and bring it to wood scupting class.

[5bananas1]

over drive

[UKwayfarerz]

haha....awesome  video....

[TheAtheneanTube]

lol

[KaxiLaxi]

is it just me or am i actualy feeling sorry for the hdd? torture?

[VideoGuy84]

@KaxiLaxi No I'm with you, I kinda feel bad watching the drive be tortured to a slow death.

[LittleJohnEnterprise]

he is playing gta iv and you don't let him :( :))) ahahha

[super6plx]

AAACKKKK YOU'RE MAKING ME CRINGE WHEN YOU THROW STUFF AT IT!!

don't you realise those platters are made of glass? and if they shatter, you'll take shrapnel like a grenade blast at 7,200 RPM! I'm not even kidding lol!

[timau65]

@super6plx i thought they were made out of metal :O

[super6plx]

@timau65 they might be - but it's definitely not as strong as metal. these shatter as soon as you tap on em with any sort of force - like if you got a ball peen hammer and tapped lightly on it, it would shatter. much easier to break than glass. it's because it has a lot less room to flex, just like concrete, so as soon as you DO flex it it just snaps off

[timau65]

@super6plx Ok really thanks man , i was going to try it also but now i'm going to make sure i'm going to more or less be safe from flying parts :p

[Ravedave5]

@super6plx This is not even the slightest bit true, they are completely metal. You can take a hammer to them and they bend.

[super6plx]

@Ravedave5 they certainly do not! I've opened a hard drive and the platters are much similar to glass.

well, now you mention it, there are different hard drive types. check the related videos, "Old Hard Drive" about 2 videos below the one right next to the comment box, that hard drive looks like it has metal platters.

the one I opened up, they smashed like glass just from a tap with a hammer

[Dillon1108]

So that rattling sound that computers make is the head bouncing on the platter?

[super6plx]

@Dillon1108 no, the head doesn't touch the platter at all, it's hovering at a tiny tiny distance from the platter so it doesn't wear away at the head or the platter over time

the noise you hear is the reading head moving back and forth (I suppose left and right) over where the file is on the platter insanely fast, it's quite impressive really, to me at least :P

[nikanj]

And that day, against inestimable odds, that silly boy accidental created a word document containing the Grand Unified Theory of physics. And everything was good forever.

[FightWithDevil]

toothpick?!?!?!? a fucking toothpick ahahahahahah

[apeengler]

Windows 98 now formatting hard drive please wait...

Process finished thank you for using ye olde formatting tool.

[LidsAreFun]

the hard drive was trying to take cover, poor thing :(

[korhan]

THAT WAS COOL. I'M GOING TO DO THE SAME THING WITH MY OLD HDD'S TOO!

[VipErzz666]

sounds like an alien!

[danthemanzizzle]

Its like a poor little life form. "all I wanna do is read bits why do you keep hurtin me Q_Q"

[digitalwatcher]

TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING!!

[SamuelfisherSC]

STOP IT! STOP RAPING IT!

[1972jeepcommando]

take the magnets out of it before you through it away

[nascar51523fan]

old ass ide drive i dont know why people are bitching

[MidnightMarrow]

Kind of the titanic of failboat sir I mean shit the fact you acted like the files were still writing n such after you essentially turned the fucking disc into an old timey record is beyond me of course the drive will keep " Trying " all you did was rape the platter the arm and its drive are separate I could kind of understand you messing with the arm seeing if it actually writes functioning data after but this video turned into BS in the end.

[TheRed46]

It. took him 18 years to break his way out of a wet paper bag.

[Baios81]

Wait till Optimus Prime sees this... :p

[gocountry1391]

haven fun?

[MegaFatNerd]

This proves the computers ai is still trying to obey our every whim...

[rustamhussaini]

Great idea man, hahahahah do like this ............hahahahahahahahaha­hahahahaha

[MrFlyguy124]

it's all like," 'EY! STOP POKING ME!! IM BUSY!!!

[meghost69]

do u realize how much pain the Hdd feels :(

[bobman06238]

@meghost69 None, its an inanimate object. :P

[TheCrazyFinn]

"Maybe we should run ScanDisc?" XD

[IamFat32]

seagate....hard drive failures fit for a king

[Shawkins49]

After a while I felt bad for it, So determined to do one last copy.

[MrRCPeter]

SHINY!

[Heresathought]

Ah, so THIS is how you defragment a hard drive!

[chickenpoper]

You could of sold the metal on it you know lol and back then they put a lot of platnum or gold in these things....

[VideoHelper08]

trap a innocent pussy cats whiskers in it hehe

[zeeman674]

"I dont think its happy" orly? xD

[AllAgainstBush]

The reason I think it was able to stay alive for so long is because this HD did not have a perpendicular architecture like all HD of today do. This is your "grater tolerance." This is also why the HDs of today are more likely to fail than older ones.

[ahm3s]

pointless video

[SlackerSlayer]

Why didn't you run checkdisk?

As we devo along,,,

[thomasni123]

OH! Try doing that to a velociraptor >:-3

[thomasni123]

But did it Finnish?

[KimetersP]

2:00 is how I write files.

[fruitydudexD]

if it spins fast enough, you might be able to sharpen a knife with it :D

[Jeka187]

dont you have some respect for electronics... you HDD hater !

[Steven7920]

"Oh it's still alive" xDDDD

[HumzaAhmed155]

CLICK OF DEATH

[nascar51523fan]

Too bad i don't have an old hard drive lying around...

[Jaramo1]

Clu was on that disk. |:I

[lorebf]

I've got an old 80GB that i've opend... and it's working perfectly wothout the case :)

[9ilest]

WHAT DID IT EVER DO TO YOU!!!!

[myhaykid93]

i fucking hate that noise



[ApolloWasReal]

Dude! I would have KILLED for even a ONE gigabyte hard drive around 1980!

You young'uns have no respect. :-)

[TheUNSCReject]

"Oh, it locked up the computer." Gee, I wonder why...

[vivelecorn]

This was torture :-( I feel so bad for that geezer HD.

[Watcher315]

The question is why people do that  :-P

But althaugh nice video ^^

[dq476]

It was crying :( poor thing

[annyonghaseyo90]

It was happily working, copying that file... then you killed it. Hard drive rights NOW!

[k1noify]

Hey! properly dispose of that!! : D

[iluvallmychao071]

lol 2:54 sounded like an ambulance XD

[ENGINEBLOWUK]

pw3nd

[DAWGOF023]

hahaha, " Maybe we should run scandisk?" omg

[marcooni03]

ha ha great fun buddy !!!! i would have done exactly the same as you,,, anything that is fucked thats in my hands becomes dismantled and played around with

[rflinx2]

Nice seeing someone else do the same thing I did to a 465MB hard drive. That thing was so old the hard drive casing was made out of plastic, barely worked, had a lot of damage from a fall from its last owner, surprised it still worked even a little bit. After I was done "playing" with the drive, the central cylinder that the copper used to make the hard drive spin had clogged the spinning space. I somehow also ended up with a warped drive in the end.

[shadowoflightvideo]

Messing with a hard drive the way you did, you're lucky to be alive,

[CyberDeviant]

This guy is pretty lame at destroying something...

[Ravedave5]

@CyberDeviant Your ideas are to do what instead?

[DamonGuitar11]

@Ravedave5 kill it with fire

[Ravedave5]

@DamonGuitar11 - As you wish, I'll try to make another video this week.

[Danz207]

@Ravedave5

so r u gonna kill it with fire?

[Pitchplus8]

@CyberDeviant i would tickle it with a 2kg hammer

[DeltaPhi79]

Sounds like a Geiger counter.

[1337saklart]

noooo poor harddrive ;((

[TheJuli1241]

(my HD) Why are you torturing my grandgrandgrandfather like the?

( I ) Because its OLD and has no storage!

[IIZJASON]

to finish it off you should of dropped it in a bucket of water :D

[shinyfuzzy]

haha it looks like an xbox disk after the system has been dropped lol

[stevo8782]

it would've been funny to see it shatter and you get metal peices in your skin

[Axiom253]

i think it died around the time it started clicking

[Ismalith]

With the screwdriver you could install windows : D

[EpicMan83]

1:31 Your hard drive got corrupt...

[EpicMan83]

Brave hard drive.

[adelmnaili]

deam!!

[xardas121dk]

=))....my god...you could have used a sledgehammer for christ sake...:))

[Chewytube1]

LOL. I opened a 500GB one open that failed. It had a big grey area in the center half. Scratched to hell, even more than what you did. It had black powder all inside the case of the disk. It was awesome.

[Kg277]

Alien examination. Getting poked by a bag of water!

[TobiasTheebe]

Now start ScanDisk and run a surface scan...

[usernamen0tfound]

1:29

*Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

Hes dead jim....

[DfFuse]

omg someone call PETA, that poor HD :< Hurts to watch

[usernamen0tfound]

/me is supprised you didn't bluescreen

[ryan123456781]

that was a perfectly good hard drive, you could have used it to store some rubbish...

[Dazzerlikestech1]

its 8gb, use hdd caddy

[wasitrealy]

Now THAT's what I call encryption!

[markhogsvagen]

KIRNIKIRNININKIRNIII!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[MacMilanTheBest]

poor old hard drive

[Ruchsacksepp]

some serious rape

[dazzer617]

why dint you just get a HDD caddy and use it as a external HDD to put stuff like music on , i would have payed money for that before you killed it you dick splash!

[ViperEye89]

You should have taken a hammer and smashed the platters for the grand finale, maybe it would still be copying files after that!

[Xtralicu]

No errors from Windows??? Seems the OS gives errors when everythings works fine but does nothing when you are fucking a hard disk? =o

[1zg]

lol, its like the reader was like a guard from things but then after a while, it just gave up

[spankeriffic]

sad..but it makes a lovely chime sound

[jangoknight7]

its trying to communicate

[roflschofel]

You are a terrible human being ;_: I hope the hard drive will haunt your ass.

[hamsterball27]

its a seagate medalist i have one and a 4gb medalist 4321 the 4gb still works after being scratched

[devhook23]

I HAVE THAT SAME DRIVE AND WAS FOOLING WITH IT BEFORE I SAW THIS VID! ITS A WD I THINK

[Silencer0151]

That poor arm works its ass off and then it gets stabbed what a crappy life.

[marybob321]

"built ford tuff" SHIT!

[ClClBOOM]

looks like fun :P

[c0rrupts3ct0r555]

now u cause head crash now it cant write the file. poor seagate. i would have met it the magnet.... lol watch the hdd choke on its corrupted data.. cool video though

[MrGuitarPrayer]

The first man on the planet to speak to a hard drive

[chadheck96]

You should have cut little indents into it and made a saw!

[qwertyism8]

i would have smashed it with a hammer by now...

[bigdady2700]

dud why are you destroying that hard drive for it can be used for a back up. just because it only has 8GBS don"t mean it's useless

[Ravedave5]

@bigdady2700 Would you store your valuables in a cardboard box outside your house? I was an old drive, HDs don't last forever.

[gdfschimpi007]

@Ravedave5 the word backup means a second copy incase the primary one fails. that doesn't mean you have to have the HD plugged in dumb ass :)

[Trinivalts]

@Ravedave5 well, I'm storing some things in a 6gig drive. No probs with it. After all you don't use it often anyway.

[govedar4o]

@Ravedave5 ..but they last for long time..as we see in this video :D

[usernamen0tfound]

@bigdady2700 its useless.....

[EspanZeTTo]

@bigdady2700 i have 270 gb of porn, those old drives are too small for backups

[12809inthetubes]

@bigdady2700 yeah besides, what can you store on 8 gigs? you'd be halfway through backing up just your music collection and it would get full you'd have to disconnect it and switch to the next crappy old 8 gig drive . . . and again and again. it's not viable.

the entertainment and intellectual stimulation gained from this experiment is worth way more.

[Oleboy9]

@bigdady2700 ye it does

[YooTubeo]

@bigdady2700 totally agree. backup system drive, etc.

[bigdady2700]

that could be used for a back up drive
