  • wow thats one weird looking hard drive! how many mb's?

  • It seems to be a 100MB drive. I guess it was built in 1991. The only hard disk i've seen with a step motor to move the head.

  • ive seen a couple from seagate and other crazy brands but not one like that and its a 100mb thats awesome!

  • 20 mbs 40 mbs Those 20 and 40 mb drives also had a stepper moter, To move the heads.

  • @wollomatic what is the brand and model on it?

  • @MrComputerfan It's made by Venturi International Corporation, Model is VPS 105 AT. I have just uploaded some photos of this drive on Picasa: picasaweb.google.com/102399859­936760651919/OldVenturiVPS105A­THardDrive?authuser=0&feat=dir­ectlink One Photo shows the type label.

  • @wollomatic Why did you open this nice Hard Drive?

  • @MrComputerfan To see the inner parts. The drive didn't wok any more. So why not?

  • @wollomatic Ah! I thought it did still work, but how did you seek it?
