I took the cover off an old hard drive and made a video of it. You can see the moving parts

  • This is a Maxtor Right?

  • Yes! I always wonder how so many people are able to tell the brand just by seeing the inner components.

  • Use hdmotion on it!

  • thanks for the suggestion! i didn't know about that program. i'm downloading it now.

  • this was a 4gb maxtor (very old) that was just laying around. i opened the case and plugged it in.

    i wasn't concerned about dust cause i wasn't planning on using it any more.

  • So thats what made that noise in those old desktops.  I always wondered

  • LoL . MAXTOR Drive . Its Dead Right ?

  • @adambombAK Easy, reading your old comment.

  • and theres this guy with a video saying your harddrive won't work unless your "case" screws are torqued...jesus

  • course its never good to operate a HDD without its cover on, the dust and crap can scratch it and you know :)

  • @adambombAK I could tell by the sound!

  • @adambombAK i can do the same thing too!! i think its from asperger's syndrome!!! :P:P

  • @adambombAK me too!!! :P due to asperger's syndrome i think!! :P:P

  • @amokachi31 I am still using a 20gb quantum fireball (a very appropriate name for such a hot-running drive) and, while is as noisy as a fiat ducato 2.5 turbodiesel with a broken muffler, is pretty much bullettproof (it survived several >1m drops and is the only disk i have that works with a >40mhz pci bus (cheapo overclocked 440bx motherboard without proper dividers)). And, as I've said, has a cool name - "I've god a WD blue" "I've got a FIREBALL. Where is your god now?"

    Sorry for crappy English
