Watch a faulty hard disk making the click of death as the reading arms cannot reach the reading position on the platters.

  • the mechanical part of it might be dead but the data can still be recovered therefore the bag has it's own role in there :)

  • did you manage to recover the data after this?

  • Can you do a follow up about you making toast?

  • @Aaron35rules

    to protect the platter from dust and any small objects present in the air...

  • That hard drive has quite a catchy beat ^^

  • why did u have a bag over it?

    

  • more crap from IBM that crashes and dies. plus the fact the platters are made from glass and in some IBM models, the head is oversized.

  • this drive it isn't old, because of the actuator arm new technlogy: "no touch" it is the white object on the actuator arm returns.

    the click of death it is the most popular problem in common hard drives :(
