i used a magnet, a small neyodimuim magnet stack, to cause a hard drive error. this would "uy time" for an essay or something but i find it strange that it did cause an error. at first i thought i move the armature with the magnet but there was no SQWEEEEEEE but on the shitty school mac books it just had a blinking picture of a ?file

any insight

I have watched the whole video with grater interest then an average movie. As a sugestion i have to tell you guys if you could let the informational blue band at the bottom of the screen to last a little longer (about 5 seconds longer) because not all of your viewers are native english speakers like me for instance. Thank you

At 28:18, it seems like a RFID tag. In older video game and dvd packages there would always be one for anti-theft, but now there is a smaller, thinner, type.

The neat thing about hard drive magnets is that they aren't really strong at all to the sides, but are WICKED strong front and back

I noticed you talking about your late '70s Honda. I have a 1977 XL 175cc Honda. You're right about using that #3 Phillips on it.

I need a SATA/USB controller board just like the one you have. I have a 20GB SATA drive and I want to see what's on it and use it on my PC as additional storage even though its only 20GB. I have a 1TB western digital My Book external drive as well.
