Wow, that's really neat! Too bad they never made drives like this for the IDE or SATA interfaces lol. In all honesty, unless you can find a SCSI card really cheap, I wouldn't bother putting the money out for one - you've more than likely destroyed the drive by opening it.
@averyaccordion Are you sure? That looks like a large voice coil, but I cant really tell for sure. I dont think that they could achieve that data density with stepper motors if it were 25 GB. And plus he pointed out the rare earth magnets, which stepper motor drives didn't have/require
WTF??? My HDD only has 3 platters and stores 250GB unformatted ans 32 formated!

@FACP07 they didnt need one. They have stepper motors, not voice coils.

@averyaccordion IKR, I ended up reading the manual cover-to-cover, it was actually really interesting!

@FACP07 I know... Its amazing to think it cost $1200 while i can get a 3 TB WD external for 80 bucks at costco :)

@Messerschmitt262a2a each platter has 2 sides, so 14x2 is 21... wait, i dont get it. xP

@cheetawolf 14 x2 = 28... ok, maybe a 23 head drive but not a 23 platter drive
