Inside a Hardisk Drive

[brybry2123]

is a 3.5 7200rpm hdd in a case under my desk more noisier than a 2.5 5400rpm laptop hdd on my desk? Do 3.5 hdd perform as loud as the one in this vid?

~Sorry for noobie Question~

[tombell12]

Heh. I smashed my way into a 425MB Connor many years ago just to see the insides :-P

[Bunfire123]

If you have a hard drive that has only 245 mb then which OS are you using??

[Darkloud93]

so now computer cant hold more then 1 Hard drives...

[GAGICH4817]

none u noob. at least not on that drive. its just some crappy old hard drive he doesnt care if it got wrecked

[kniaugaudiskis]

I still have fully working 245Mb 3.5" Maxtor HDD.

[dark1entity2005]

so its the arm that makes the noise lol ive been wondering for years

[DanielDaniel1]

awesome thats so cool

[VideoJunkei]

neat! some HD's do park the heads on the inside?!

[captain150]

Almost all of them did until a couple years ago. Now, most drives park the heads up on a ramp to the outside, off the platters. IBM (now Hitachi) pioneered this technology back in the 90s. It's called "head load/unload", google it.

hehe we had a smaller capacity version of this hard drive in our old 486. pretty recognizable sound, brings back good memories :)

my dad said that he only had kb wen he was a kid! haha look at what we've come to! soon we will be treating gigabytes like they're kilobytes!

[captain150]

Early floppy drives were only in the kilobytes. The VERY first PC hard drive was a 5MB Seagate and the first drive IBM used was a 10MB Seagate. Even at that time the 5.25 inch floppy was king. Could have 2 of those drives or one of those and the 10MB Seagate ST412.

thats nothing, my uncle has a 2mb in his 1995 IBM :P

[boomshakk]

lol 2mb?? come on... thats way too small for 1995. pc's were coming out with like 540 mb drives that year

[sKilLs77]

Your right but some of the hard drives back then were 1GB.

[Tbird761]

Strange. The Quantex P100 we bought in '95 came with an 800MB drive.

[rootdenied]

either you or your uncle stop making up sh*t, i upgraded my comp to an SLC2 with a corsair 80mb hd in 92/93.

[Bloodshedder]

The first 5.25 inch hard drive was 5MB. I don't think any were made that were smaller than that. Why use a 2MB hard drive when a floppy is almost that big anyway?

[niraco]

420mb!? How old is that thing? My mobile phone has more than twice that :P

[rugelindinda]

no ko. Voice coil is up 1 gb. Not so old.

[EclipseWebJS]

You couldn't have broken a lamer hard drive than that.

[wwwdotmsndotcom]

I think he picked this one because, for one thing it's a piece of crap, and two, it has phillips head screws (I have one just like it that killed =D)
