  • 00:32 LMAO :)) that hard drive should've got it's ass scared like shit lulzzz

  • HELLO!! HELLO!!! ITs SUN!! They have PLENTY of old harddrives to throw away ur blow. ;)

  • 1. I think you are a bit ignorant on the ways and methods used to draw attention to products / marketing. This is clearly a "PR" stunt, no different to a TV or radio or print ad showing something hyperbolic. It garnered interest which was the goal.

    2. A law suit would be completely baseless as any such act wouldn't even make it to court as it is clearly designed as an over-the-top spectacle to woo audiences to watch.

    3. Yes I completely agree, they should have showed the system recovering.

  • 1.Just unplug it idiot to simulate a hard drive dying.

    2. stockholders should sue this company for wasting money

    3. It never showed the system recovering.

  • I couldn't do that. INTENTIONALLY destroy computer hardware.

    Here we are wasting hardware when there are starving kids in Africa just dying for good SCSI drives!

  • I cried :( Awesome though....

  • You've got to use the right tool for the job, I'd say an axe.

  • Cool, I also tried that, but using virtual disk inside a virtual machine :D I don't have disks to destroy like that.

  • that's incredible.

  • This was absolutely awesome!!
