[Coffee19feen]

Whaaat....fascinating



[60pedrolivecom]

That is one speedy little thing

[gxgolden1]

Thanks for the video. I finally get to see the HD at work.

[MGRaiden64]

so now i know what that weird clicking sound is when im doing stuff on my pc. i always thought it was just that orange light that flashes.

[Piotrek7654321]

I'm going to buy an SSD...

[TheQuindecillion]

Our hard drive tends to race and race...and race! It's been cleaned up and defragged. Also, only about 15% of the drive is being utilized. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Almost anything will make it race, and it doesn't take long before it does. We're wondering if we don't have some spyware that's cruising the drive for info, but we don't really know.

[aha00002]

Wtf am i doing here...i'm lost in yt again!!

[hamstergirl591]

Lol, now I know what the processing noise is inside of my computer ^^

[HeheheNotFunny]

this is cool

[nicklofton]

wow all those noises brought back memories of my "95

[houari2009]

Hey, whats going on !? why all the hard drive are so expensive now ?

[JaredSPeters]

So, what is the movement of that rod? Does it scratch the disk to change its properties?

[JaredSPeters]

Wow! That is so interesting! Now I know what them croaking and clicking sounds on my PC are! It literally rewrites the hard drive by scratching away at it. Really interesting. Thanks for this video!

[bigglessy]

For years I thought hearing those sounds was crazy, now I realise it was just this...

An overstated record player.

[michiel2047]

if you do this, how high is the chance of a headcrash?

[joshuamarius]

@michiel2047 Super high; basically inevitable.

[joshuamarius]

@michiel2047 100%. It will crash.

[QuadroNVS]

@michiel2047 the disk will become demagnetized and all your data will be wiped out immediately

[joshuamarius]

@QuadroNVS Not immediately, but eventually.

[52252263]

HDD Read/Write Good

[52252263]

HDD 3.5 Open Power On???

[halofanteam]

Put your finger on it!

[Shimdidly]

That was awesome! Thanks for making the video.

[joshuamarius]

@Shimdidly Thanks for watching.

[etaks99]

what are the advantages of a good quality hard disk as opposed to a bad hard disk?

[joshuamarius]

@etaks99 Don't understand your question very well.

[macnerd93]

@etaks99 what kinda of dumb question is that? you answered it yourself pretty self explanitory

[LucaTurilli89]

@etaks99 the speed. The endurance of the materials so longer life of the hdd. Better circuit board for the power/interface.

[thewetflarp]

So that's what all that annoying noise is.

[Steelcan201]

おもれーｗｗｗｗ

[Kerns0Phoegon]

This is just so cool to watch.

[ComputerGuy1111]

This is pretty fascinating, it's amazing hard drives last for years doing the work they do!

[daveconno]

I had a hard drive last week... Drove through London in rush hour :(

[m05110]

I Wanna See What Happens In A SSD :D

[joshuamarius]

@m05110 Same as a Flash Drive :)

[HeffernanProductions]

@m05110 aka nothing.

[TheQuiZNoKid]

After seeing this I feel bad for making my HDD do so much work... ;_;

[moastytoasty54]

Is it possible to take out the disk and put it into another hard drive? I'm having complications with mine, but I think it's the reader chip that's busted.

[BurtonInfectedSoul]

@moastytoasty54 Yes you can, but you need to let the professional to repair it

[an65001]

This is the similar kind of Harddrive I had in my eMachines eTower 333id from 1999, but it was 4GB. It was also Samsung. The PC and the HDD are both dead. :-(

[facunsthaman]

So THAT'S what makes my computer make that noise..

It's so annoying -_-

[Leutchik]

I thought even one dust particle would cause a fatal head crash. But now here we have a drive operating at full speed with NO COVER !! How is this possible?

[ciesson]

Thanks for the video, helped me explain to my brother how hard drives work inside :)

[iiGerardoii]

(0:31) lol the hard drive is masturbating... which folder did you remove? "PORN" ???

[LucaTurilli89]

@nicktheodore if the hdd is using 0 and 1 for storing information how is it recovered if it is inly 1 and 0? :) Also why there is a Hex code while reading HDD information?

[1misanthropist]

My damn 2tb seagate external hd started the damn beep of death. Lesson- if you want to loose 600 movies, hundreds of other videos, 3000 songs, 3200 photos etc then DON'T buy Seagate. I'm going WD, even though my hitachi internal runs pretty good ( but hot).

[joshuamarius]

@1misanthropist You will hear the same stories with both drives. The real lesson is to have a backup of a backup. Always.

[svenny555]

@joshuamarius The real lesson is to buy a samsung hard drive :p

[joshuamarius]

@svenny555 No hard drive brand is better than the other. Samsung will fail just as much as Seagate and Western Digital. The real lesson is to backup your data :)

[svenny555]

@joshuamarius Well that's true, but i just wanted to say that i have better experiences with samsung hard drives then with Seagates or Western Digitals :p

[joshuamarius]

@svenny555 I know - but just imagine how many emails I get saying "I've had better experiences with Seagate", or "I've had better experiences with Western Digital", or Fujitsu, or Maxtor, or Hitachi, etc. It's a never-ending thing.

[wav5000kb]

@joshuamarius how is that thing moving so fast?

[tmillertube]

@svenny555  I just had a Samsung drive fail two weeks ago in my 7 month old notebook. I lost everything. I have had Seagate, WD and Maxtor fail also. I now use two separate externals to back up everything.

[Nathan173AB]

@1misanthropist Seagate happens to make one of the most reliable hard drives today. You are just one person with one bad experience, and just as likely/unlikely to have a hard drive fail again if you buy a Western Digital.

[1misanthropist]

@Nathan173AB I am "one person with one bad experience", but many, many people are are in the same boat which makes it more than more than pure chance. But way doesn't being 1 person matter ? "Just as likely likely/unlikely to have a hard drive fail again if you buy a Western Digital." So by that logic then they'd pretty much have to be the same company making both products if they are that much alike. Doubt it . Sorry, 1 company has to have the advantage over the other in some catagories.

[galaxymode]

@1misanthropist real lesson use ssd

[1misanthropist]

I got a 9.5mm, 16mb cache, 7200rpm, 750gb sata 3 hard drive in my notebook. WHERE can I get an 2.51tb, 7200rpm, 64mb sata 6 hard drive? While I'm wishing make sure it's not 12.5mm.. But it looks like I'm going to have to settle for either 16mb cache, sata 3, 5400rpm ,1tb OR 750gb,16mb cache,7200rpm,sata 3. Never mind the sata 6 64mb cache hassle. Damn 12.5mm 1tb has to go in 12.7mm optical drive unfortunatley. Would you rather have 1tb OR 5400rpm? DAMN DESKTOP HD HAVE MORE & CHEAPER OPTIONS !

[AgentDerp]

how the fuck does that reading head move so fast and so accurately?

[Spring3Angel]

Does anyone know if it can do any harm to have two hard drive?

Thanks

[1misanthropist]

@Spring3Angel Wondering that myself. I'm thinking about swapping out dvd optical drive bay for 2nd hard drive bay, but I'm thinking that having 2 x 7200rpm drives might overheat the processor / motherboard. (Unless the optical hard drive bay ONLY runs when you click on optical drive icon in "my computer" tab folder on start menu, but I don't know) I'm thinking overheating might be the only problem, which is scary enough. I might try it anyways.

[Spring3Angel]

@1misanthropist

Thank you for your help!!

[xxsekoxx]

I need some help. I'm pretty sure all my drive data is ok. It just wont power up when i plug in power to it. Could i find a similiar drive and just swap the parts?

[unwary]

@xxsekoxx i know this sounds dumb, but try putting it in the freezer overnight. i did this a few times in my tecchie days to rescue data. don't boot off it, just install it as a slave drive and copy what you need.

[xxsekoxx]

@unwary hmmm OK i'll try that. This worked with power issues? When i plug it in nothing happens. It wont spin.

[unwary]

@xxsekoxx actually it worked more for when it made clicking noises etc. it was a while ago, i don't know if it will work with that to be honest. but it won't do any harm to try.

[LiandraStarr]

I can say if it stays open while operating yea i can say will die. But i have seen PC Builder who open and mod the casing of the hdd and they never say it dies after three months cause they ake sure while working on the drive their wont be any dusk particle falling in it.

But nice to see this shown without testing oneself.

[faxmanloveswaffles]

0:30 come on stupid pencil eraser!!!

[Atheismrulez]

Love the noise when it's seeking.

Pure hardware porn.

[TheXROMANX]

Disk died about three months after being opened

Woah!



[produKtNZ]

@TheXROMANX I have an explanation for that :)

[dsidewd]

Why is it sound so noisy?

[tachi203]

@dsidewd because the sound proff lid/container isnt on it. to enclose it.

[atalayapark]

I have an ICT test tomorrow! :( Thanks for the video mate quite interesting

[vicshiori]

awesome video (´w`)

[WindowsXV]

who had the urge to listen to the you harddrive when you did something i did

[tachi203]

O man I miss the boot sound's from the harddrive's in 1990 lol. They were epic. You always could tell you were doing something when you heard this(duke nukem it would go nutz) lololol

[KausheelKumar]

why did formatting only make it swipe twice ?

[Discovery320]

copy ... LOL one to another and again :-D

[joshuamarius]

I guess I made 177 people dizzy so far :)

[ganni444]

@joshuamarius love this video~

thank you very much!

[joshuamarius]

@ganni444 Thank you for watching!

[OriginalJonBlaze]

@joshuamarius

that tablet that you removed at the start is that the controller card? and do you know where i can buy a replacement one?

[joshuamarius]

@OriginalJonBlaze No. That is the Hard Drive cover. The controller card is at the bottom and yes, you can get a replacement. However, if you are trying to recover files from a damaged drive, I highly suggest that you seek professional help. I personally recommend DataMechanix. They will check your drive for free and give you a quote before proceeding.

[mcmamac]

inside a ssd next? for the lolz

[SuperBlue121]

its rocking out lol

[KaxiLaxi]

wow

[rudis323]

very loud cracking

[kailoonthedog]

Your comment should changed . You should say don't do this on a hard drive that you still want it to do it's job . Hard drive is assemble in an zero dust environment because a single tiny bit of dust will damage the drive . So once you open it up , the drive can only be use as a decoration for your home

[GerbrandThunder1]

installing hard drive in dvd drive with brackets ;)

/watch?v=kUP3oe1pAWE

[0UT3RL1M1T5]

Hey @joshuamarius , I thought it was the dust that killed the hard drive. I opened a newer one (40gb) and it died immediately, but the newer ones are more sensitive. How long do you think a 250mb or 40mb hard drive would last after being opened? One is from '91 and the other is from '94. Thanks.

[SolidSnyder]

This is cool! Copying makes sense. It reads one part and writes on another. I think. Why would air ruin a hard disk? Isn't information stored magnetically?

[dudelolwot]

DJ DECKZ!

[GeneralRIMT]

so thats that noice, huh. the things you never new but always wondered.

[mk2escortvan]

@bslgeorge  BACKUP!!

[Muirselgas]

Delete (Scratch it off)

[JimbosliceLV]

Will it fit in One Cup.

[the731272]

well if you're gunna let a piece of paper rest on the platter its gunna die!

[97bosko]

@bslgeorge Your hard drive is overheating-even45*C is enough to damage it.It's probably gonna die.

[GiulioMenna]

@bslgeorge get an external hard drive, transfer your data and live free of terror of loosing everything. It's called backup.

[animalnt]

@bslgeorge its possessed

[Swonkneo]

The 2 magnets within the harddrive are pretty damn powerful, I took one completely apart and was screwing around with them and managed to smash both my fingers and even got a little of my skin caught in between and hurt like a bitch pulling it out xD.

Just thought i'd throw that out there lol.

[oliverkhoo]

thats what makes my laptop noisy : (

[eenayeah]

Hey guys, are hard drives expensive? And what do you think is a good thing to consider buying one? My hard drive is almost full. 50 GB free of 232 GB.

[OhBeetch]

@eenayeah No. Not really, you can buy a 1TB hard drive for like, $80.

[roflmagister5]

You must be using Windows. That is the only explanation for the unoptimized access patterns you are seeing. (Esp. during copy & paste)

[BufteaGangsters]

Now that SSD's came out... I will miss the old granny Hard Disk :( RIP

[datarecoverybest]

very helpful video good job

[fhdjsahfdjsha]

HELP!! My external sata drive stopped, it moves a little but doesn't spin ,after awhile a dialog pops up asking if i want to reformat drive, anything I can do to save that data?

[zeoxzy]

because of this, i always cringe when im deleting or downloading alot of data fromt/onto my hard drive. i cant comprehend how a hard drive can last years when the reading mechanism is moving so fast and looks so flimsy!

[hikmaet]

see it while watching porn...

[MrGardenofeden]

geek porn

[vaibhavd85]

very helpful video thank you.

[TheSorrowLand]

WOW!

[icecubemovies]

Cool, but that claw is scary. It's pretty loud too.

[iraqifreak]

How do they Invent This Shit!!!?!?!?!?

[watisthis99]

@iraqifreak Hundreds of years of technological advancement.

[lionslicer9999]

wow I always wondered what that noise was... thats really cool.

[johneymute]

reminds me of a finyl player haha lol,but for what i know a hard disk stores the digital data in annalogue format, a decoder inside decodes the signal back to digital and imply,s error correction to recover if possible lost or damaged data.

[bobctx]

hey @joshua what was sound about clicking for head inserted platter?

[gambart2002]

Wow

[Rick1885]

U let all the air in and it ruined it that's why it quit 3 months later.

[joshuamarius]

@Rick1885 Yeah, I was aware of that, that was the whole point of the investigation.

[garrysmod102]

@joshuamarius can i put the cd into my pc? maybe it will do somthing or wat

[kris10ish]

@joshuamarius its jacking off lol

[TheTphoenix1982]

@Rick1885

my god....was it suffocating without air!? ;-0 joshua just helped it...cooled it?

[Rick1885]

Well there's your problem.

[Rick1885]

Those hard drives are airtight aren't they I learned about this shit in my computer class.

[joshuamarius]

@Rick1885 Correct.

[mikey0000]

@Rick1885, no, not airtight - as that can cause air pressure problems (due to the spinning platter) - but sealed tightly enough to prevent dust particles, etc., from getting inside.

[mikey0000]

@Rick1885, but, I read, there is a particulate filter at the main point where air enters and exits these drives. Finally, operating ordinary hard drives at very high altitudes will damage them, as there's too little air to support the read/write head.

[cloudstrifeification]

That was awesome! I had never seen the inside of a hard drive or at least working that is.

[oOcytewinderOo]

awesome... ;D

but the question is.... will it blend ??

[joshuamarius]

@oOcytewinderOo LMAO!!! I think he did do a Hard Drive, can't remember though.

[jahholmes]

ohh thats what that noise is



[YottaMax]

how can a hard drive perform those operations once its open??? (Or is it just a "simulation"?). Isn't the head and platter surface not damaged?

[mikey0000]

@YottaMax, the read/write head floats on an invisible cushion of air; because the disk is spinning so fast, if a dust particle lodges under the head, the drive breaks - even a fingerprint will crash it! But, opening up a drive, in and of itself, doesn't damage it.

[YottaMax]

how can a hard drive perform those operations once its open??? (Or is it just a "simulation"?). Isn't the haed and platter surface not damaged?

[hassankelghoul]

Hard drives are like human brains

[scotland1989able]

what kind of a geek would find this any interesting?

[joshuamarius]

@scotland1989able People who want to learn, people who are doing research, people who have never seen it before, etc. Apparently over 1 million.

[scotland1989able]

@joshuamarius over 1 million? that is alot of geeks

[Esperanza243]

@joshuamarius Ha ha ha. Funny. It's a shame I fall into one of those categories. My college class was watching this today.

[joshuamarius]

@Esperanza243 Where is your college? Glad to know it is being used for educational purposes :)

[TheEsperanza243]

@joshuamarius The college is Moberly Area Community College in Missouri.

[freakqnc]

@scotland1989able

Q: What kind of Neanderthal would waste time watching videos they're not interested in & leaving comments when there's >1M views, making it self-evident that there are plenty people interested (unlike you sir) in learning new things?

A: Users "scotland1989able"

What kind of question was that scotland1989able? Pls, start a new hobby... may I suggest mountain climbing? Then once you've learned & got @ the top of a tall 1, do us all a favor and jump off of it! ;P

Thx joshua!

[scotland1989able]

@freakqnc yeah i know plenty of geeks in the world huh? its not me that needs to find a hobby its u and them. i have hobbies. btw what u saying thanx to joshua for? whos joshua?

[AvengerStar5]

@scotland1989able U MAD BRO?

[scotland1989able]

@AvengerStar5 haha no im taking the piss. i just know how annoyed folk get on youtube

[dagger86]

@scotland1989able I'm that kinda geek!

[scotland1989able]

@dagger86 lmao if i was smart i wood probably find this intereesting 2 but im not so i dont. and im drunk right now so i wont even remember writing thiiss

[joshuamarius]

@scotland1989able LOL!!

[computertechdude1234]

How many gigs?

[joshuamarius]

2.5 GB

[wingless07]

This was awesome to watch. I am enrolled in a school to get an A+ cert. I had a project to do a Pwr PT on hard drives. I would've loved to have this in it, with your permission.

[joshuamarius]

@wingless07 Of course! Go ahead!! Thanks.

[JustMyHobbies]

you turn off the power using a switch ? is it the same as doing a force shutdown ??

and is it safe ?

thank you..

[joshuamarius]

@JustMyHobbies That was powering the drive physically and no it is not safe unless it is an external hard drive and it is not in use. If you are referring to a force shutdown within an operating system that is different. The shutdown is issued within the operating system after the drive was determined to not be in use.

[TheRicher14]

i thought if you opened it, it would be ruined because of the dust and everything that would land on it

[Xtralicu]

So thats the tickling noise that my laptop makes :p i always tought it was the processor making that noise xp pretty dumb of me i know

[Roflbrowser]

@Xtralicu Well, processor units can't make sound because they're basically just signals.

No mechanical part.

That would be pretty much like a power cable making noise!

[dycarbon1]

Lol no wonder taking a hammer to the casing doesn't stop the annoying sound.

[zacatetas]

cool, im trying to recover a drive with a clicking needle for sometime now. the freezer trick dont work :(
