Dual Spinning Hard Drive Speakers

[leone0105]

wow cool



[Arachnikadia]

awesome song

[computerboykarpovich]

super cool

[BlueScreenOfDead]

well, i guess SSD CANT make that sound, hehe

[marathonman182]

how did i get here

[SukatoKjolen]

Yes, this is how old record players worked.

[scottaspect20]

how?



[EralForgan]

Nice HDD quality sound.

[Garnetandzidane]

@0Squinkie0 ROFL

[jankockv]

lol

[MrStuntman112]

remove the disk part and make an automatic pin ball machine :D

[brandonturcotte]

wtf ....

[0Squinkie0]

You know, if you stare at those things long enough they start to look like robot boobies, sexy !

[WeLoveAMD]

Stereo Speakers!

[SCHULZIIII]

O_O

[AFunyun]

Bad

Ass

[206ernesto]

FUNNY LOL, I lost my 20y/o data because of that same effect.

[coreyaustinmiller]

spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round.

[BongmeBongo]

seriously cool

[XxsoxemnasxX]

stick ur dick onto the edges

[MiguelRelvas1]

Whaat??



[the14u36]

wow didnt think raid 0 was this kool i have to do this. lol

[yeop23]

u are retarded man..

[k3v1nfbr]

xDDD

[pHappyfeet]

SEE this is cool, that other video was crap!

[RICKROLLBLENDER]

perfect choice!

[klamann12301230]

Ale Fajne !!!

[emoboy724]

11 people have visited porkspin.com

[mansoor619]

11 people thought these were boobs

[DjHippie2K11]

11 people tried to be a DJ using these.

[Yezpahr]

@DjHippie2K11

And now the counter is one 12, so I guess you were one of them?

[Yezpahr]

@DjHippie2K11

Damn, made a horrible typo... I meant to say:

And now the counter is ON 12, so I guess you were one of them?

[DjHippie2K11]

@Yezpahr Haha yeah, I actually touch my friends one by accident :D It wasn't pretty let me tell you

[BlakeOBrien1]

The one on the right is a Maxtor drive from an old 2001 powermac g4.

[chefloli]

use you finger to scratch it xD

[tacobill20]

their dancing! unce unce unce unce

[TheDjdog123]

OMG jajajajaajjaajajaj

[andr9557]

guy nr.1 "hey dude! come se my new stereo!"

guy nr.2 "dude, youre fucked..."

[Phenanima0]

oonce oonce oonce ooonce oonce ....

[TITANLITTLE]

TEMAZOOOOOOOOO :P:P:P

[mwalsher]

Sadly, even in stereo it doesn’t sound a whole lot better. The noise is mainly from the servos moving the heads right? Would it work if the platters were stopped from spinning?

[2slogan]

@mwalsher As far as I know the servos don't actually make a sound but I'd assume that it's the motor for the platters that's making all the noise

[mwalsher]

Spin that record DJ! Then do some scratching!

[bumr055]

I think these are white van speakers.

[derGomez82]

I'm wondering when this video is going to be deleted for copy rights issues :P

[sleepyboyproduction]

SHOW US HOW?!?!??

[XienceFactory]

tutorial please ;D

[Nomoreidsleft]

You know what would be cooler is if you read the song off the hard drives while they were playing the song.

[compmaster13]

@Nomoreidsleft you can't do that.

When you expose a HDD to air, it becomes unreadable.

[HedgehogOutdoors]

How could you tell what song this is? I couldn't hear anything besides a beat...

[Danz207]

SICK!!

[FreshApplePieOnXBL]

OMG, THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME, HOW THEHELL DID YOU DO THAT?!?

[gjunior96]

left: i have this hard disk (seagate st320413a)

right: its a maxtor... I have not the disk

[scarymonsterman94]

hahaha

id this is real, how do you do this

[ypoora1]

@scarymonsterman94 solder some wire to the poles of the arms voicecoil... connect that to your stereo :)

[energeticmouse]

WIN

[TomWis97]

lol

[salem113]

thats awesome

[machinimastartup]

@DanielChristy19

do u use an amp:?

can i solder the wires in a headphone jack and go show ppl ? <---- i want the needles to move .

plz help before i solder

thanx ;)

[ypoora1]

@machinimastartup Nope...Use an amp :)

[machinimastartup]

@ypoora1

thanx

:) 

[ypoora1]

@machinimastartup Tip: Use your stereo amplifier to test them uot :) Just unhook one of the speakers and stick the HDD coils wires in there =D

[Nadeeja94]

thats so fake..

[machinimastartup]

@Nadeeja94

not at all i own one of these

[mattg889]

@Nadeeja94 Nope, not fake. :-)

[the747videoer]

Haha SSD's TAKE THAT!

[weedeaterbike]

lmfao

[linuxuser432]

u still can't do this with a ssd

[Arthedes]

an SSD can't quite match this yet

[thesherminator93]

excellent sound qualitiy considering its not meant for that :P

[starstarstar42]

Won't lie, the thumbnail picture made me think I was going to see fembot boobs.

[pedrotski2007]

@starstarstar42 haha thats awesome

[ky13harbor9]

Quite the sound quallity for a hard drive!

[Geistsoul13]

Turn Up The Bass!

[WasGehtApp]

how to do this?

[ypoora1]

Song? I mean,SONG?!

[cheetawolf]

the only advantage to these over SSD's, you can still mess with old hard disks even after they die!

[daladek]

it looks so cool!

[WarriorIng64]

1:20 What a fitting song choice, lol. How was this set up?

[thegermanandre]

9 / 11 inside jovb xD

[Rendaylor]

even the disk drives are like O_O

[will30328401]

ITS OVAR 90000 RPM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gleciowave533]

@will30328401 

[Demache92]

Drivespin.

[Avataryoutuification]

Your ssd can't do this XD

[A3R0SPACE054]

@Avataryoutuification haha hell yea

[Avataryoutuification]

@A3R0SPACE054 and their ssd's can't defrag as many times as us.. and their ssds aren't as big as us etc etc

[A3R0SPACE054]

@Avataryoutuification HHD 4 life. till it breaks haha

[Avataryoutuification]

@A3R0SPACE054 SSD for OS booting and games but that's it really..

[A3R0SPACE054]

@Avataryoutuification Dude I agree. I,ll wait maybe a year to buy my first SSD. So the price goes down a little, and newer stuff comes out. 10000 rpms is good enough for me now.

Not even like I do much O/Cing so it's not crucial.(but fun)

[Avataryoutuification]

@A3R0SPACE054 Ocing isn't fun for me. Temps are too high :( Stupid crap £8 case.

[damiandick]

ahahaha this is awesome

[camarolover1982]

where is the hard drive usually found in a computer?

[mrbooziebrews]

@camarolover1982 ...next to the medium drive and on the other side of that is the soft drive

[MaxxFordham]

Maybe you have those drives hooked up in stereo, too, huh?

Left... right...

[MaxxFordham]

Holy cow! No wonder the head actuator magnet system is called a voice coil! :-)

[jack99889988]

hmm, this hardrive dont need to be spining to make the sound, not even the metal disk generate sound. its that giant magnet (a strong magnet with coiled wires) on the side vibrating the whole drive.

[computerkid12481632]

tutorial?



[DannPwn]

wow that is pretty dam cool, how did you do that ?

[2007excalibur2007]

How the hell...? Dude, I'd pay just to know how you did this. :S

[cheno95]

@2007excalibur2007 youtube.com/watch?v=yBG0s9Qtjk­k

[2007excalibur2007]

@cheno95 Latepass. Already seen it. :PP

[RJHTommy]

you spin me right round baby right round... like a record baby - right round right round ^^

oh well

and since when is the commen-box under the top 2 comments ? lOL ??1!!!!

[lelos14]

how did you do this?:P 5/5

[neglesaks]

5400 bpm techno!

[SittingMooseShaman]

... as 'modern' as these disc-systems are- they still resemble in sight and function- those old IBM magnetic-tape systems of the 60's & 70's... Time to 'mp3' the pc into a pure electronic device w/o any moving parts...

[gergy008]

Now that is the definition of RAID 0!

[prep044]

Just dont get a spec of dust on the plates. Dont want shrapnel in your neck.

[SKMatoBB]

Hard-Drive speakers? What's next flying CPUs?? :D

[draugfriend]

4 people who dislike this is the data which was accidentaly erased during this speaker trick...

[SebbzN]

How do you do that ?

[melroy89]

ahah very pro :D

[opedroefeio]

«.. you spin my head right round , right round , like a record baby , right round round round..«

[Zarac1121123]

i can hear the hard drive click sound like you hear on old hard drives while you play that music, it's funny lol.

[LuisTheComrade]

How did you manage to spin the plates?

[3stadt]

so you have some stereo harddrives ;D

[PKMotoren]

Hey, i had an old Seagate 40GB at 7000rpm hard drive but it has a damaged disk! :(

[minibaby123456789]

How did you make them do that?

[TheBlarg89]

you should tweak the voltages or something to get the hard drives' motors to run at a lower speed so there is less noise.

[orirnda]

you can put teath on the disks and make the first hard-drive saw!



[BrainSeepsOut]

Fucking hard drives, how do they work?

No seriously, how does one do that?

[narutofan12able1]

wtf

[nillchen]

they spin around like a record

[QwertyBerty44]

Sweet x)

[jonnybeats12]

next... surround sound!

[reconrey1292]

ha...they look like boobies :)

[k001k1dzm4n14]

boobs

[ASYLUM227]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm boooooooooooobies @k001k1dzm4n14

[leerman22]

next up..

7.1 channel surround sound!!

[stefandenholander]

power 250 watt

[mwalsher]

I LOVE the choice of song. As noted, the platters are indeed spinning Right Round, but also, are the drives Dead or Alive?. :D

[playsocke]

nice one :D

[TheNascarfan14]

@mwalsher they look alive to me...

[andrewrobotbuilder]

@mwalsher Funniest choice of subliminal song naming! I Like!!

[Dunthyon]

@mwalsher Schrodinger's Drives?

[kght222]

what two hdds by chance, and i also wonder on hdd speakers what is the actual output bandwidth? like: could i double these over for tweets that look cool in plastic?, i've been curious about thsese for a while and have quite a few old hdds

[alyxlyon]

Funny, kinda quiet sound tho

[chrisjp20]

AWESOME!!!!

[MultiYippee]

lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollollollollollol­lollollollollollol

[magichristo]

i wanna see this through a subwoofer test!

LOOOOOOOL

[momoXD1]

I have build a hard drive speaker too but my one isn't how do you made them spin?

[uberdeity]

You'd need a stepper motor driver chip, or alternatively you could just use the original board (HDDs spin up when power's supplied) but have take-offs for the armature coil so you can input sound.

[CheatEnginer]

LOL! So how does this work? I might try it myself with my failed hard drive.

[BenBasque]

wouldn't this be an awesome "click of death"?

[scerm]

@BenBasque lol yeah so true

[Blaster7492]

hahah so cool!

[an65001]

left-seagate right-maxtor

[hotdogfart2]

i made one, but how come the headers don't move back and forth on mine

[Procrastinatathor]

That's very cool because the drives' inners are a mirroir of each other.

[wdowa94]

Cool idea, but it can't be louder :/

[bstmanversusskeletor]

LOL I can actually hear the song. "You spin me right round!"

[Jourei91]

How does this work? Instructions demanded!

[BasherCoon]

Fucking. HAX.

Dude you rule. Great hardware hacking, 5*.

[xtreme01hac10docter]

I have three I'll psot a video nice video btw.

[christiancapella1]

I see a dimondcrash minus 9

[DJDonaL3000]

NASA uses these...

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

wow the sound is better because of the spinning platters... the heads are floating instead of scratching the disks which causes a better sound... also, is the left drive a seagate? the right is a maxtor, which you can see it at the case and i think that were the only voice-coil-right-3,5" drives...

[Bob41004]

I'm pretty sure the one on the left is a seagate because i took one apart that looks exactly like that one

[32JSE]

Lol this is funny.

[FlUdDeStRoYeR94]

Some one please tell me how to do this!! :D

[ccraig412]

yepp that iz da songg!

[chunky1311]

Is the song: "You Spin me Right Round"?

Well suited :) lol

[PlasmaFire3000]

Taking the Click of Death to a whole new level, I see...

[olijack57]

entry's message to the hard drive ' s coming from an analogic signal ?

[TinchoX]

wtf!!!

[empece60]

cool :D

[tippete123]

whatfk

[emmanuelyeah1992]

amazing

[ernieng38]

how to make it???

[ZeroMemPtr]

Alrite fools stop saying that its fake, its simple physics that this works, electricity got its own frequency and the hdd head is ran by an magnet field and through the frequency it creates those noises.

It does not only work with hdds you can use shit like electric motors they make such noises aswell

[Imprezaman555]

how do you make them spin??????

[xtreme01hac10docter]

You hook up the correct power suply....DUH!

[Imprezaman555]

i mean how to make it spin continually instead of on and off. i didn't have a computer to hook it up to, and even if i did i broke the head when i opened it.

[redtails]

Any 12v+5v supple will do

[Imprezaman555]

i know, i used the psu from the computer i got it from, but since it aint hooked up to the computer it only starts and stops. For now i've given up. I'm working on getting my hands on a micro controler so I can make my own controller for the motor, and the head. I also know someone in IT so i can getold hdds for cheap and eventually make a real 5.1 system, I just have to figure out how to make an hdd sub.

[redtails]

This is a wild guess, but years ago I used to have this enormous harddrive called a "bigfoot". It's basically a 5.25inch harddrive with matching power to it. Is it not possible to connect the 12v motor directly to your powersource or a variable powersource so you can up and lower its speed?

[Imprezaman555]

prob. not. as far as I know all hdd motors are brushless, so they need a brushless speed controler.

[redtails]

You don't understand me, the motor is connected to the IC to be controlled digitally. Fixing a variable resistor to this connection should give you variable spinning speeds

[Imprezaman555]

it is connected digitally, but the speed is also controlled digitally. the digital signal the motor receives from the esc regulates the speed, altering the current going to it would only make it weaker or stronger. but it would still spin at the speed it is programed to, unless u decreased the poower so much that it cant get up to that speed.

That's the whole idea, it's just a 12volt motor using 900mA. If you give it 500mA it'
