15k rpm HDD damaged

[the731272]

or just the fact that its Fujitsu made it die :P

[felixguncat]

I've dropped an old Maxtor 40 gig some years back. It still works like a charm ;-)

[aidanrayner999]

The reason why it kept hitting the edges was it was annoyed with it's self and kept hitting the side!!!!! LOL!!!!! 

[Chrustay177]

i have a hitachi 1tb. dont get it.

[mrRocstar96]

why?

[harryman11]

@Chrustay177

Hitachies have never served me well

[Sauber9]

15k is the same as 15,000?

[tiagonirvana]

yes

[Sauber9]

Thanks.

[Paxmax]

I fricken love SCSI.... been running it since '97. The reliability is just awesome even though it spins at 10K and 15K rpm.

However... it's time to move to SSD within a few months.

[americanworksmen]

i thought when you romove the cover it instinly has millions of bad sectors

[Watcher3223]

Not necessarily.

Removing the cover breaks the drive's dust seal (it's not airtight as the drive has a filtered breather hole to keep the internal pressure equalized with the outside).

The danger is that if a spec of dust were to make it between the head floater and the platter, the dust will disrupt the airflow between the floater and platter, causing the floater to land on the platter, ruining the media coat on the affected area of the platter, which destroys any data there: a head crash.

[elemineseslapolla]

my shitty Seagate Barracuda 250gb 16mb S-ATA had a Headcrash, it was 2 months old(MTBF=50000h), those 15k rpm hdd have MTBF 16000000h, thats awesome... well the price is awesome too seagate cheetah 15k 450gb 16mb S-ATA, €511

[FunnyMcBunny]

Seagate's barracuda FO SHO!

[Corrybasler]

Darn that sucks. RMA that puppy but you can't now you have took it apart lol.

[bleeeaaarrrggghhh]

Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital and Samsung all the way! Had a Maxtor 30GB HDD in an external casing and it cut the power and blew up the board in the casing! It spun up, but it never worked again. I know this because I tried a working Western Digital in it.

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

yes, that are the 4 best

[intlklr]

well i have to say an eh with hitachi but yes to samsung seagate, and wd

[ebackhus]

No way on Seagate. WD and Samsung are tops.

[Santiagosony]

omg at 3:45, the HDD is working just fine, hahahhahahah

[themaritimeman]

Fujitsu never really made good hard drives. Quantum, Maxtor and Seagate were pretty much the only ones that did.

[slaterking1000]

not maxtor. Not at all.

[captain150]

Maxtor did in the early 90s, and the late 90s for that matter.

Anyhow this is a general observation, but Seagate has pretty consistently made decent drives. Their lowest point was the U-series era (and those were just brutally slow, not particularly unreliable.)

Western Digital is another one. They have pretty much always made good drives. Today, my first choice is WD.

[slaterking1000]

WD are good, never owned one, but i heard good from them, had Seagate all the way, never got a failed drive form them yet, and i had about 4.

[starshooter10]

i only buy seagate WD and samsungs now...

the other let me down too many times

[Santiagosony]

"the others"? which companies?

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

did you open it or has it normally a window?

[tiagonirvana]

i opened it

[KEEVVY]

@tiagonirvana one particle of dasta and data can't be read in that arya

[WillianZuillian]

My Seagate SATA Barracuda 80GB start to make strange noises 1 day after the warranty was out.

then i HAVE to format it each month, then each 2 weeks then the noise was now more loud then when i format it again the windows doesn't boot.

My HD was like the memory when i turn it off eveything that was in the HD (partitions and Windows XP install) dissapear.

Now i'm using My ATA Seagate 40GB (it's lkike an turtle ¬¬)

[DURAMATRIX112]

how anoying!

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

is this a seagate in the background?

[15CMruler]

My laptop started making a noise like a deep fat fryer, the keyboard broke, then it wouldn't boot. I poured a large G&T on it, and all the LED's went off. I took the hard drive out, and wiped it with a square inch neodymium magnet. I heared the disk flipping against the case. I left it behind some drawers for 3 months. Today I reassembled it and turned it on because I was bored. It booted Windows... I'm like omg, how can that happen :-p

[psycopyro001]

not the same HDD? lol that can not happen!

[xxsxaadxxx]

seagate is the best!

[tiagonirvana]

i own 5 seagate and never gave me any problem.

[xxsxaadxxx]

Ya as I said, and I also own 2 of'em, they really are trouble free.

[turners1]

I have roughly 100 cheetahs, 72GB at 15RPM, and 6 years later, not a problem.

[terryeffinp]

@tiagonirvana I never really had any luck with seagate, I still prefer western digital

[kbickhaus]

My science teacher gave me a Fujistu 15,000rpm hdd for $16. lol.

[tyleralan11]

how did it get damage you or someone else? i know you did not.

[tiagonirvana]

I believe that somebody has left it to fall, 'cause one of the edges had some marks of damage.

[crazyladydriver69]

so how much does a 15k rpm harddrive cost- on avg, not the most expensive one, not the cheapest one.

[tiagonirvana]

i don't know lol

my brother brought 2 of these from his work.

one was in good condiction, the other was damaged.

[khlymore]

cool fujitsu i respect that but the leader right now is seagate cheetah i got 15k.5 check under my acount actuall i wanted to buy this one but a japanese friend told me plus the top 10 everywere that seagate is the best anyway fujitsu is leader in europe

[X41N3]

avg..i'd say like 250-300 bucks, mine's 500 euros (fujitsu MAX3147NC)

cheapest ones: ~150

expensive ones: around 1000 bucks

[unreal4u]

really nice vid :D it shows some great internal functions...

Thanks ;)

[rimband123]

why did u low level format it?

[tiagonirvana]

i was checking for any bad sectors, but after a eye verification i've seen a little hole on the first plate, that was caused by a hit on floor. lol.

[qwertymac93]

make a speaker out of this thing! a head that fast would make an awsome speaker!(yes, im serius)

[awfulguitarplucker]

the head seems a ghost! it works as fast as it seems invisible!

[skinny008]

Nice, I'm still sitting here with my 7200 rpm liek a tard xD

[khlymore]

lmaoooooooooooooooooooo lol that was hilarious
