Vintage Seagate ST-251 hard disk drive spin up and track0 calibration with the cover removed. It is quite noisy, but this is normal for these old HDDs. This particular device is from 1994 and has a groundbreaking 40MB capacity.

@Messerschmitt262a2a : in fact it was already in a bad shape, so I had nothing to loose. I wouldn't have opened a healthy hard disk :)
