  • I work at a cleanroom data recovery lab, and I personally guarantee that this is a fake and will not work. (and not because I'm trying to get your business.. I'd just hate to have you destroy your drive.

    Anyone in the industry will notice the heads do not read the service track, and can see they're just floating in place. What the video maker does is moves his hand to plug in a different external HD (you can see the cable move), which is the detected drive. NOT the one that's drilled.

  • fake ! and stupid

  • lol morans the lot

  • I'm only slightly tech savy, but my main oh ...ya its fake thing is...the needle head...its not moving...in a harddrive it jumps all over the fucking place.

  • i dont think bill gates would be too happy watching this

  • Well, it had me going until I read all the brainy and logical explanations.

    I have a Dremel that can go 1,200 rpm and if I can figure the ratio between the diameter of the drive wheel and the exact point of contact on the disk, I can come fairly close to either 5,400 rpm or 7,200 rpm.

    The trick is keeping it steady and without going to the washroom for the time it takes to transfer 500GB of data.

  • that doesnt look like 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm....

  • 1. That probably isn't the right speed.

    2. The head isn't moving.

  • well i cant fuckin do that give me something i can do!

  • @shyboyangelus they're dead once they're exposed to the world (except for "clean rooms")

  • @1thomashall I want to use a recovery service but I'm a little worried that they might make copies of my data and view certain confidential documents

  • what a waste of time.
