Hard Drive boot without cover

[MooseTuningInc]

Thats deftly a western digital. I recognize that initial power up self test clicking. Good ol WD.

Epilepsy....

[popolohirois]

I think it's Western Degital Caviar series.

I have similar one, similar sound (spinup, seek test sound).

This disk has about 300MB isn't it?

[seanhawkins09]

HIT IT WITH A HAMMER!!!!

While it's running of course ;')

[the731272]

[Liquadia]

[LifelongLesson]

Oh nice! So that's the sound I hear that comes from hard drives! Awesome!

[quangluu96]

[refridgedude1841]

Sounds like a WD, I have several old WDs that do that excact start up cycle.

[hackers09fr]

:-)

[cheetawolf]

[YdramaNnyc]

[ECASirk]

I thought they needed to be air-tight...?

Is the ticking noise I hear in my external hard disk because of the arm moving, or is it more sinister?

[Remireuvekamp]

The arm is mooving

[AngryItalian83]

that is the sound of the arm moving and as the magnetic sectors are being read it causes a slight tick, all normal

[gr4ndth3ftvide0]

touch it! :)

[Ravenpulse]

its crazy how sudden the arm moves

[tombell12]

What brand was it?

[fostytou]

I wanna say Hitachi, but it could have been an xbox drive. Can't remember.

[tombell12]

Been 11 months since I commented on this vid. Now that I listen to it again it spins up like an old Seagate and the seek test sounds like the one from an old WD Caviar drive.

[thecomputerman100]

@fostytou xbox drives are no different, just standard western digital hard drives

[fostytou]

@thecomputerman100 ....duh? As in... not a Hitachi?

[MrComputerfan]

@fostytou Its a WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar 2250

[MrComputerfan]

@fostytou Its a WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR.

[the731272]

@tombell12 definitely Hitachi the head design suggests so

[MrComputerfan]

@the731272 Ofcourse no Hitachi !!! Its a WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR 2250 !!!

[the731272]

@MrComputerfan ... yep your right :P i just realized that from the seek test xD

[DerHalbeEuro]
