Water Cooled Hard Drive

[bass2style]

so cool(ed) :D

[overclockedamd123]

For all the people that dont know you cannot water/oil cool HDD in this manner. They have tiny holes all over the case and are very sensitive to air pressure. If you look up oil cooled pc they always leave the hdd out...for that very reason. This is a dead drive and they are trolling you.

[BurnElectric]

an old broken hard drive, let's have some fun with it, but still...a video of some guy pouring water over it, kinda pointless i'd say

[fujitsu1522]

I'm not even going to check what Country your from, i already know the answer, and you think young kids watching wont try the same thing, and stand a chance killing themselves, don't say they can't because they can, ive seen enough idiots blowing things up in the collage where i got my qualifications in electronics and computers.....i'm just baffled, brain cells got to be missing from this guys Brain.!

[mvickers03]

Not sure why my comment was deleted, I was just saying it's not a waste of a HDD as it is a very old one, and not worth keeping.

[Mdudeman13]

Glass disk?

[dillkill626874]

With the lid on it sounds like a dame dish washer

[Gatewayuser200]

what a waste

[mvickers03]

@Gatewayuser200 Yeah a waste of an old Quantum HDD LOL would be lucky to get Windows to fit on that drive these days

[Gatewayuser200]

@mvickers03 yeah, windows 2000 and older operating systems would fit on it and Tiny XP

[mvickers03]

@Gatewayuser200 Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were ATA 33 or 66 so there slow as hell too

[Gatewayuser200]

@mvickers03 TinyXP and older operating systems where designed for old hardware

[Slappo1]

This is genius.



[hackers09fr]

I wanna try this!!! =D

[OnyUnfettered]

Anyone who takes this vid seriously needs to re-think who is the moron here.

[PT300989]

you are a idiot put water on a hard disk!

[unclechad2]

ha i knew it was going to be this nice mineral oil i the hard drive video lol

[SoulArtSound]

ahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[LevTheCichlid]

XD>>>and LOL

[Awidiastanto]

Can it do laundry?



[EJHF69]

I dont think it works.

[Acewick1]

retarded

[misu22b]

how much cooled off? i want install this too

[MidnightMarrow]

Move along folks its just doing a rinse cycle.

[sj0bs1]

just amazing,  water cooled HD....the future is here, folks!

[scryingsprau]

how can someone be stupid enough to try it when you can see and hear how bad it fucked up that hard drive, especially when it is full of something as preciouse as porn.

[blueburn333]

No....No....ALL MY GOD DAMN TORRENTS!

[ArmadylGodSwordsmen]

See if SSDs are waterproof :)

[ratzevotze]

lach

[jojuae]

Won't work. Water resistance won't allow proper spin up speeds. Idiots.

[DaBub0wnz]

@jojuae Gosh. DUMB PEOPLE.

[KingsDnB]

take mineral oil, close the hdd case with plexiglas and pwn all the other =D

[AkProWar]

that's one way to do it.

[CAESARbonds]

MY PORN all GONE. NOOOOOOO

[MarcusLKF001]

i lold hard

[snaylionid]

U just fucked up lifetime supply of porn

[enemykill3]

does it work anymore x[]?

[savage8008]

hahaha so many corny puns but it's hilarious

[HsingG32]

now i know why it is from SEA~~~gate LOL

[Ma15634]

maman j'ai fait une bêtise!

[mikeyhendri]

And its dead

[tight4soundz]

Don't worry Doctor blocks, he has enough money and plenty are made every day.

[DoctorBlocks]

please tell me that wasent a working hard drive xD

[an65001]

228 people actually tried this. :P

[kght222]

@an65001 correction, 233 people tried this with useable hdds. this is what bad/unusable hdds are for, destroying in stupid an possibly amusing ways. (when i say unusable, i have a few under 100gb hdds sitting around, most under 20gbs, i can just throw them away, or i can use them to amuse myself, hmm what should i do. they still work after all)

[TheCybernifls]

But why?

[matthewtchernev123]

i axactly thought you were goin to do those things

[blueboxbody]

man that is SIC!! where can i get one?

[crocodile2006]

My Hard Drive only drinks coffee

[fanofCOH]

@crocodile2006 odd , mine likes whiskey

[Romansama]

now that is a real cooler !! ..xD

[knight8718]

Bet you could make real good soup in a harddrive...

[notsteve82]

Ha! The funny thing is I could see that Quantum Fireball HD survive the "water torture". Those HD could survive quite a bit in my experience.



[gathersteel]

Send for to the RMA :)

[bpmagruder]

NEVER PLACE ANY ELECTRONICS NEAR, ON OR IN WATER. DOING SO WILL CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.

[thelegendbullet937]

@bpmagruder

LoL @ you.

[pouncytaur]

@bpmagruder

That depends directly on the voltages used, the meathods of current isolation and other factors. The only thing that should be of concern here, is the fluid dynamics of water as apposed to air, the heads weren't designed to have that viscous of a fluid around them, so they will have great difficulty reading.. if the circuitry is properly isolated from stray currents. The currents though, will only be enough to interfere with the circuits, it wouldn't even create a tangible sensation

[Chr1573r]

This is how I'm planning to cool my next NAS!

[ArtemisFour]

Ever tried putting the entire system down into mineral oil?

[411Sum411]

ahm.... now its WATERPROOF

[outwithlunch]

Bet the hdd was fucked after a nice good dust'n a?

[Kleavers]

'Seagate' The irony.

[raconmario]

I bet your files had watermarks all over them

[dixxczr]

@raconmario You deserve an huge internet HIGH FIVE...!

[drake5246]

bet it does not work to retrieve data

[Myxomatosis33]

I think it needs more water.

[Force5]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!



[Brandon02852]

i think that worked really good

[poprocksown]

seems legit

[Kesselwagen]

omg poor hdd

[SuperPhg]

why do u have to use a seagate ther expencive

[Renafuse]

it's dead Jim!

[MY5TCrimson]

Any one want to try this in there PC now? :)

[ajwgeek]

I have the EXACT same harddrive as that, quantum fireball. Came out of an old compaq computer. Turned it into a harddrive speaker

[KiillWiithMe]

lol.

[Superdoopdave]

put your tongue on it

[grant2053]

Mineral oil! Its non-conductive!

[ZaratoUchiha]

Best water cooling system EVER!

[BlackSGMan]

Quantum Fireball. No issue there.

[thercpoop]

do magnetic cooled hardrive

[realdad32]

dude you mean i can take my laptop swimming? i gotta try this!

[exceeda88]

hahaha, nice....temp must be absolute zero....try liquid nitro after this,,,

[PremiereDirector]

So THATS what they mean by Disk Cleanup XD

[danthemanzizzle]

i see that's an open system you are running so you are going to get the added benefit of evaporative cooling to bring those disk temps down to below room temperature, bottom line is this is breakthrough shit right here.

[p51d007]

I'm guessing as long as you use deionized water, it should work.

[win7dot]

you can make a water pump with your water cooled hard drive

[EsSplicit]

lolol....this is too funny...lolololol

[TheMrMeff]

He just lost his 600 hours of hardcore porn

[mohdraef]

0:52 my fav part

[ididacraponyourface]

Funniest video ever

[lokkiez]

OMFG



[wakeupfist]

Let Off Some Steam Bennett

[Tom852000123]

lol :)

[c0rrupts3ct0r555]

that quantum deserved it.

[GHOSTTOYS]

well actualy if you put mineral oil that might work .. but the resistance of the oil on the swing harm might smol the ready of the disc .. anyways that video was fun hehe

[DouglasMcK]

uhh yea... exposed HD to unknown water source and elements.. DUMB! ALSO TO ADD WATER ERODES!

[Tbone155817]

@DouglasMcK It's a joke... you fail at life

[mystikdev]

@DouglasMcK Liar



[DouglasMcK]

@mystikdev storagesearch . com/ disklabs-art3-floods .html

[crashbandicoot4everr]

is this a quantum?

[LCxCZ]

lol sounds like a dishwasher with the casing on

[billkolias]

oo wrong title

the corect is water destroy hard disk-drive!!!

[yomamasuckspingas]

oh i see wut you did thar ._.

[MrQwerty0667]

un peu normal la partie "moteur" est située en dessous du disque dur et donc reste totalement protégée... c un peu comme une pompe a eau le moteur est a coté mais le bout est dans l'eau

Par contre je pense vraiment pas que tu puisse continuer a lire les données quand la tete de lecteur est pleine d'eau, vu que meme une toute petite trace de doigt ou une ptite rayure rend le DD total hs ...

[cococoncombre]

Je savais pas que les moteur électrique fonctionnais dans l'eau !!! je me coucherais moins con ce soir ^^

[luckybcomputers]

Well thats why I get so much business

[nedorush]

Any patents on this thing?

[mendomush]

herp derp

[nigeldanautilus]

lol, tesla turbine

[jamiecole12]

looks good ill try it XD

[SetAMaxtorOnFire555]

stupid craptum (quantm craptor mix)

[azn789456]

idiot,,,, yo know that once the water gets hot, your hard dirve is done for.

[vitowito]

@azn789456

Really ? You're that stupid ?

[MarlonsUselessAcc]

did it queef at :29?

[TheGoldenAge7777]

Hilarious!



[AidanHockey34]

Water cooling.

UrDoing it rong.

:D

[HouseMusic2oo8]

squirting

[1moonlord2]

cool enough now, huh? xD LOL vid

[SpammyProductions]

Now overclock that shit

[AcTinlde]

Pure h2o does not conduct electricity.

[xG33Kx]

@AcTinlde It's nearly impossible to have pure water, though, even distilled.

[TomWis97]

0:52 Sounds a bit like a dishwasher! Lol

[Ubertommy69]

i kinda feel bad for the harddrive

[halolord01]

now they have to make these that work

[reallycrappyname]

That's cool! Now ya gotta circulate the water through a cooling system. Like one of those hot/cold cup holders with the top sealed over.

[Jesse6566]

They through a bunch of these in the ocean near Japan and look what happened.

[TVIceBoxTV]

SHIT! wrong hard drive.

[ZFrancis1993]

Yeah, good idea. Where do you work?

[the747videoer]

Does it work?

[teanomilk]

lol, 0 degrees

[jacobbobcorn]

taking literal to the next level

[TheEOGeek]

@idrinorbarsaku Yes the platter and heads wil work but i have yet to see a HDD run strong with being opened.. "imagine the head as being the eiffel tower and the platter as being the distance between los angelos and new york city. Now, imagine that the eiffel tower is reading every peice of grass on the way there at the speed which your hard drive works, even the tiniest piece of dust is like a Mountain for it to get over"

Mike Meyers, Comptia A+ educator....

[MatthewTelles]

@TheEOGeek OMG I thought that sounded familiar lol gosh I hate him. like he knows a lot but he annoys me. its not "heat dope" lmao

[BubuSnow93]

WHY :D

[r4nd0mh3r02k]

I've heard of a clean install but that takes the piss!

[BufteaGangsters]

HAHAHA bet SSD's can't do that.

[rickyny4you]

He was trying to convert 10 GB to 1 terabyte, thats why he added some water and sealed it with a hard plastic cover to be protected from the dust.

[Upinyogr1ll]

Well there goes his porn

[TheAlizame]

you can use ist as a waterpump xD

[madjimms]

This is like a wet teeshirt contest for geeks!

[TheNewbpowner123]

Did the hard drive actually work after this?

[TheEOGeek]

@TheNewbpowner123 No hard drive will work when open unless you pay a hell of a lot to get it professionally recovered.

[r4nd0mh3r02k]

@TheEOGeek - Sorry to ruin your party but ive taken apart my hard drive like this (minus the included water feature) and booted windows from it as it was just so i can see how it worked lol, put it back together and its still working to this day :) althought the last hard drive died when i did this lol but its all in the name of "fun".

[TheEOGeek]

@r4nd0mh3r02k Then you,

have one of the greatest haardrives.... you should have gotten a video of it

[silicon212]

I like the slush sound at 0:52 ...

[advertiseonshirts]

@silicon212 BAHAHHAAH

[TomShloop2]

wow it froze the water? Im surprised how it held up

[captobvious68]

So what did the temps read? :)

[1234internet4321]

@captobvious68 ITS OVER 9000

[megasmart1337]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaam so still

[vedo1117]

well... its not gonna overheat i suppose...

and this slushy sound with the cover on is priceless

[urbex2007]

You CAN use a tank of distilled water to put any electrical items in to cool them. Tap water has impurities that conduct electricity - distilled water doesn't. In the UK, a programme called "Tomorrow's World" put a portable TV in a tank of distilled water and the presenter put his hands in. Due to millions of complaints this show was never repeated! It was in the mid-80's.

[Masowai]

That was so retarded.. pouring water on that hard drive. But it made me laugh my ass off. XD

[DarthVader323610]

@Masowai dude i think he has some amp hooked up to the hardrive so that it dont catch fire or somthing or hes probally got it running off a car battery i heard a switch at the beggining of the video when he starts it up i heard him flick 2 switches and i saw there was no computer psu.

[marc002925]

ZZZZZAP!!!!!

[Kg277]

low intelligence youtube video

[aarowsmith1]

This is cruel and unusual abuse to all hard drives out there', I'm calling the H.D.A.H.L "Hard Drive Abuse Hot Line"

Have you tried Beer on a hard drive ?

[gta4everybody1]

YOU WILL FUCK YOUR POWER SUPPLY IF THE HDD IS CONNECTED TO PC

[theultimatedestroy80]

@gta4everybody1 no it won't!!! i've submerged a mother board in tap water wile it was conected to a power supply and the power supply is still ok!!!!! and i'm suprised that the motherboard still looks ok !!!!!

[DarthVader323610]

@gta4everybody1 dude he doesnt have it hooked up to the pc . he Must have it hooked up to a car battery or somthin . OBVIOUSLY - beCause if he had it hooked up to the computer it woULD CATCH FIRE!!!

[YaoiVixenBoi]

@DarthVader323610 Actually considering that the hookups for the HDD are outside the casing and it has to be airsealed to prevent dust from mugging up the disc-read putting water inside of a hard drive inside of a case wouldn't do much except probably fuck up the read of the head.

Also, it's not going to catch fire, it's called shorting. An electrical short isn't going to head up the metal enough for it to ignite. Just doesn't happen like that.

[dsm2701]

bored much?

[franeupraxophy]

LOL

[ButcherStrike]

LOLOL that is a Quantum Fireball EX 3.2, damn i have one too.

[picklejar20]

lol

[terryeffinp]

In communist Russia harddrive wets you!

[FragOutxX]

i can't tell if this is a win or a fail....

[DSetekh]

Wow not shorting the house power source is good enough reason to watch :)

[Crallux]

Well the hard disc was already destroyed as he opened it since air destroys it.

[AdmitITdotcomdotau]

@Crallux thats not true, look around the drive, usually under the main board, you will find a vent, behind that is a filter. you can open a drive but one its open its the dust that kills it

[erebusparcae]

its a new disk washing system! whoa! cleans everything even the toughest dirt!

[Mauro850]

please make a tutorial I need to make this to keep my system temps down.

[jawbreakerzzz1]

@Mauro850 idiot, u cant just pour water in a hard drive and it still work, go buy a professionally built water cooled computer

[LordAbraxesDark]

@jawbreakerzzz1 lol ure the idiot xD as soon as you open the HDD case the oxygen destroys it hahaha youre such a noob attention whore :P

[AdmitITdotcomdotau]

@LordAbraxesDark thats not true, look around the drive, usually under the main board, you will find a vent, behind that is a filter. you can open a drive but one its open its the dust that kills it

[Crallux]

@AdmitITdotcomdotau The harddisc is located in a vacuum for one simple reason : The lever (whatever it is called in english) is very sensible and air makes it harder to move so the mecanism will probably break in the inside. And about the ventilated HDD : It cools down the surrounding of the hdd not the hdd inside. If it would be inside the Hard disk, It would last 2 seconds before it would become un-usable.

Okay english ain't my main language... :)

[AdmitITdotcomdotau]

@Crallux sorry but you are miss informed, yes the heads are very sensitive with about 1/10th of a human hair air gap between the heads and platters. however there is no vacuum inside, 2 main reasons for this. 1 its not needed, 2 if it was a vacuum it would be prone to condensation inside the drive

[Arembjorn]

@LordAbraxesDark

Dust.

[jdcrispe95]

You're doing it wrong..
