[thzrealist]

@ 1:40 you are drawing and music still plays because its not an optical device, because HDD is magnetic. next time try it with a magnet on HDD and show us the result here xDD

[jonvincent12]

@thzrealist Thanks. You saved me the typing.

[PETKKKO]

moron

[ItsReal2000]

1:05 song name?

[mohosabien]

@ItsReal2000 system of a down - attack

[xG33Kx]

It's magnetic, not optical >.<

[Kargaroc286]

Or maybe you should of converted the songs to uncompressed WAV files first, that way it wouldn't have to decompress anything, it would just play the song straight from the hard drive.

[matucha123]

action 3 didint worked becouse its more than 1 disk and disk reading from magnetick

[2600Honza2600]

Jsi debil uplnej mental.

[stefan21913]

1:35 he's writing the data!!!

[AmpZillia]

good choice of music!!!! SOAD is da best :)

[810max]

e chi cazzo se ne frega

[AnonYmous17]

you killed it :(

[TheGreekRob]

i fucking love system of the down!!!!

[Perplexer1]

lol what a noob

[gjunior96]

no real

This sound is one stereo. Not on disk drive. Impossible.

[Hovercat34]

@gjunior96

You're a retard.

[Laofse]

@gjunior96 It's not one of those "hard drive speakers", he plays music to test how well it reads the data when exposed to open air.

[wdowa94]

1:50 Why not? IN HDD data is magnetic not optical

[ItchyFlea1]

lol. Nice way to kill a HDD. You could probably still use it as an actual speaker. Just need to find a connection that moves the arm with a 9volt battery.

I'm surprised it managed to still successfully read the data while you were doing that.

[KingofComputing]

@ItchyFlea1 it's called cache

[katcilla]

Chose some good music, man...

[scavender]

@katcilla This was good music, man...

[katcilla]

@scavender I know, I'm saying you CHOSE some good music. SOAD rule!

[theringfilm1]

no hard drives read from the top of the hard drive where the marker was

[karuu87]

what did you really expect the marker to do to the drive.... you do know they use magnets to read and write data not lasers like CD's..... right?

[GlycerinZ]

SOAD rocks

[nagypocsu]

It's magnetic... not optical... so the marker doesnot make anything...

[andromedarr]

@nagypocsu The Marker destroys the Read-Write Heads, because the line is thicker than theyr flight height

[nagypocsu]

@andromedarr not thicker... a marker thicker...? XD Shut up, and you will smarter... XD

[bentalbd]

LAME

[juniortore]

durable

[den48rus]

тупость...

[2krzychu3]

4G wow!!

[1638490]

demented monkey!

[Draklor00]

it worked untill that point because all of the data was loaded in to Ram, if that arm is not moving all the date it needed at that point was alraedy in the ram, however if yuo were to mark it like that, then chose a new song unless it was on a diffrent layer of the HD, it would stop working and you would get a blue screen of death

[wezternator]

@Draklor00 It wouldn't load whole songs into RAM before it began playing it would take to long. And you wouldn't get a bosd it would just die

[fr34kLinux]

System of A Down - Hypnotize

:)

[licatinho]

Systen of a down - Attack

[xxl606]

what was the first played song?

[wwwbenlew]

SYSTEM!!! AWESOME

[chakiller36]

I think the song is allready loaded from the hard drive.

[Splooshiba]

my 1TB drive has been going strong with no problems to speak of

[AllAroundBang]

The reason it was still playing is because the music was probebly on a different platter.

[wdowa94]

Marker + HDD= NO DAMAGE Fake xD

4/5

[thejokesafterlunch]

Look at today hard drives. 7200.12 Barracudas stop working in 3 mouths. I have 280Mb Maxtor and it works with my intel 386 4 mb ram and windows 2.0

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

I got a 4gig western digital ;)

[kolby4078]

i hace a 3.1gig western digital with dos

[drivojulianrobotnik]

I have a 500MB hard disk, an Apple ROM SCSI drive from 1990 made by IBM, still going strong today.

Old drives are win.

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

it's because they're less dense I think so they don't break down as soon - less possibility of erroring. I've got an old 120MB drive in an Apple Mac from 1993 and although it makes a horrible noise it still runs.

[Daviddagr8]

i have a 400mb seagate drive somewhere. still works fine ;)

[Railfan02]

Hard drives that are this old have been PROVEN to be MUCH MORE reliable than new hard drives.

[Mbit100]

cool system of a down

[pietrodiseriate]

if u write with marker "pen" still reads "magnetic" files...

[beyondhelp00]

I did this to an old HDD. It took SO MUCH ABUSE before it failed. I held the heads still, stopped the platter, held a magnet over the platters too, all sorts and it would just stop and then keep going.

Eventually it stopped working only when I held the magnet over the heads where it then killed the head amplifier, it still tried but was now totally blind.

[hyrael2]

HDD can hold like 70G while in use..

[Sauber9]

My God! The HDD was working, why did you brake it? You should've sold it if you didn't want it anymore.

[vivolorosso]

Yeah I hear 4GB drives are in high demand these days.

[DWG21R]

i got many 4.3gb drives.. lolzz

[holycrapapie]

SOAD!!!

[ToX23in]

Whoop!

[PMriders]

je to trapný

[GTMPC1]

1:47 There is a buffer retard. Try to skip a song or two. It will fail instantly. It is magnetic though, not optical, so you might be able to read data but the marker will not have laid ink evenly and could cause air flow to flow incorrectly and crash it.

[ikemkrueger]

2:36 How? The drive is dead.. o.O

[ikemkrueger]

0:38 And NOW make us the dj! *scratching the platters*

[samptaro]

that music might was't on that upper disk, and when you push disk with maker, head hits to disk and destroy it

[xXtortionXx]

the text is going way to  fast

[VladPayne]

SOAD DEF :D

[alphaman1101]

Yeah what hamsterball27 said. It will go as long as the music is in ram. i saw the drive move the nedle and the music still played..... in the ram.

[arnlol]

have it a head on the 1st plater ?

[hamsterball27]

it still works because the mp3 is stored in the ram

[Heviaasi]

no, the media player is on the ram. and the mediaplayer plays music from hdd. and a reason for that music didn't stop is that its stored on the other plate :D

[produKtNZ]

Tis also stored in the drive cache - Depending on how adaptive it's firmware is :)

[LegendaryWaterBottle]

that is mine!!!!

[t1mmy13]

music still plays becous it's in your chage..

[ikemkrueger]

Cache.

[XCocoaine]

He just keeps playing with your marker because it magnetic

[Timotay]

you need to learn to speak english dude

[pr0surf3r]

you noob thats not even a proper test

thats a wrecking of a hdd

[sbrideau2000]

Ah, I see he scrapped the hdd himself

[sbrideau2000]

That's a dead hdd if they didn't put it somewhere that was dustproof lol.

[kalimoncho51]

was fashion the reson why they were there?

[orangehyena]

the action of the mp3 test are the same of my i-pod...20 30 seconds freeze than nothing else! only the trash! ahahahhaha

[ViniciusLimaRS]

fuck you

[DoofEurTerreur]

U too

[2ndTurban]

normaly a hdd has more than only one layer!

[TinchoX]

poor hdd.....

[jsdadmin]

haha the music plays when the hdd stops fucking fake

[firsak]

You dummy. The player usualy caches data ahead. Most commonly two seconds are cached.

[elcko123]

@firsak It's actually usually less than 500 milliseconds

[xG33Kx]

@firsak No, you dummy, it's not time, it's space. Generally in Megabytes. The marker wouldn't do anything anyway, because the info is stored magnetically. Thus, this entire video is pointless.

[firsak]

@xG33Kx

It didn't do anything the data, but it probably damaged the head.

[chuckyblard]

old fucking fake

[SweeTripGanja]

system of a down rulez

[s4iko1337]

lol the music is loaded into the ram

[jac70j]

@s4iko1337 no its not i9nto the ram its in the hard drive loomk it up

[erhanzeynel]

when you stop the HDD, you may burn the fuse resistors near the power connector, And stepper motor H bridges.

[HLSDK]

Someone who knows what is going on, thank you!

[The2LGameR]

so fucking work!

[RETARDIRANY]

lol u fucked it up!

[wdowa94]

System Of A Down- great music but

Vurned hdd engine 4/5

[braindigitalis]

the music will probably still keep playing till the end of the track no matter what you do to the disk, because most media players cache the whole track :)

[HeFailed]

It will cache on ...

disk

so, music can stop.

[tibor29]

wrong, it caches into the RAM

[HeFailed]

No, if you disable it.

[lxs242]

who says, the file is even stored on the upper side of the first platter? isn't the chance 7 out of 8 that the marker doesn't do any harm at all?

[TehErrorOfDoom]

good use for a fuSHITsu harddrive

[mob1235]

not well done

the text which appears sometimes ist shown too short that you can read this

[Romio234]

system of a down 4ever

[salabadyukan]

song still plays coz hdds work by magnetism

[chupo92]

No shit?

[antonmjor]

It plays coz the song is loaded to the computers ram, it stops playing when the hdd stops and brings the rest of the computer down...

[260830107]

you have to dip the HDD in oil if you open it, the discs will get oxidized after a while

[Dexterakos12]

great vid my friend.... SOAD ROCKS!!!

[FinalTheFantasy]

soad is shit

[LikeAVideo]

fuck you

[skyscraperXD]

Umm duh! he used the special screw driver. I have one of that, and i opened up tons of defective HDs *evil grin*

[intelpentium5]

how did u get the hard drive to work without the cover

[douggz]

Hard drives don't die instantly when the cover is removed. They still work but for a short term. Air particles prevent the head from reading the platters. That's when they die.

[antonmjor]

I assume you men "dust particles makes the heads touch the surface of the disc and crash"?

it's air in the harddrive before you remove the cover too...

[soccer33MASTER]

Normally on the older Fujitsu's.... the very top of the first platter (the platter that faces you) dosen't have a read/write head on it eventhough it looks like it does so marking on the first platter won't really do anything...
