2.5" Laptop Hard Drive Disassembly

Taking hard drive apart.

Recently lost my 80GB Hitachi laptop hard drive to age so I decided to try out Final Cut on my new Macbook and created the video below.

What's included:
-Exposing the platter
-Connecting to computer via SATAII cable and starting up
-Disassembly of hard drive

Filmed in 1080i, exported to 720p.

Done in just under four hours. Beautiful.
