Simple operations performed by a hard drive with no cover, so that you can see what it looks like inside.

This experiment was performed on an old hard drive, do not try this with newer expensive hard drives, it is a bit risky.

Details & Specifications
■ Model of drive: Samsung WU32543A 2.5GB
■ Test performed in Windows XP
■ Disk died about three months after being opened

  • if you do this, how high is the chance of a headcrash?

  • @michiel2047 100%. It will crash.

  • @michiel2047 the disk will become demagnetized and all your data will be wiped out immediately

  • @QuadroNVS Not immediately, but eventually.

  • That was awesome! Thanks for making the video.

  • @Shimdidly Thanks for watching.

  • @1misanthropist You will hear the same stories with both drives. The real lesson is to have a backup of a backup. Always.

  • Whaaat....fascinating

    

  • That is one speedy little thing

  • @nicktheodore if the hdd is using 0 and 1 for storing information how is it recovered if it is inly 1 and 0? :) Also why there is a Hex code while reading HDD information?

  • @etaks99 the speed. The endurance of the materials so longer life of the hdd. Better circuit board for the power/interface.
