I was using a 120 gig Maxtor to make backups and it fucked up on me - couldn't do jack with it, so I took it apart and fiddled with it. First thing I noticed was the enormously powerful magnets at the rear of the "tone-arm" - I got one of them off the chassis in one piece. Second thing I noticed was how well the platters take fingerprints, and how easily they scratch. I don't know what to do with the platters! What if someone can extract the data even though I tried to fuck them up?? They'll have a bunch of my financial data, and my bad bad poetry, and my fisting videos, and my fingerprints! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! |

would someone honestly see your mutilated harddrive and say to themselves "HOLY FUCK I'LL BE RICH FROM ALL THE DATA I CAN GET OUT OF THIS PUPPY! AHHHHHHHHHHHH" ? |

a google search turned up no results.... you hooligan =P who is it really? |

taking it apart and touching it was NOT the thing to do. those things are really fucking sensitive, the arms operate over the platter within a tiny fraction of the length of a human hair. delicate I think. |

It's from a 'macintosh' commercial. She seems pretty 'blaked' in it too. |

Yeah, I wouldn't have opened it if I thought it could be salvaged - but when a drive freezes up three times in three partitioning / formatting attempts, you don't want to trust it for backups! Have you ever opened one up? It's oddly satisfying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yeah, those magnets are strong. I think it was a hard-drive stolen from my highschool. taking stuff apart is fun, I almost did it to my hard drive, but it came back to life after 3 days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Ha yeah I gave it a few days to settle down, but no dice, anyhoo I still have a Western Digital 120 for backup plus a WD 160 in my rig. I'm going to stick with WD from now on - those Maxtor drives have been flaky in the past too. Put the magnet on the fridge - can't get it off now. XD |

It sucks when it happens. I was like in trauma mode for the first day. |

My harddrive died circa summer of '01. It was full of my songs. I had idea that i save some money and get it rescued. But father told me while ago that he fucking tried to fix it and he didn't succeed and threw it away :{ |

Just in case, where can you get this kind of thing done? How much does it cost? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I remember checking out prices back then. Some places were only about $500. But most were about $1000. You can google the answer. |

well I mean shit... she even looks like she should be pinching a jay in her hand in that pic... my eyes want to see one there, but then I look again and it's gone. |

I work in a PC recyclers and we dismantle many-a-harddrive! pretty neat stuff i say! |

If you remove those circular plate and hold them with a string, you hit them to make a groovy instrument! they go.. TINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! |

Hey yeah, I'm gonna take apart all my hard drives and make a wind chime! What's the thing inside a Maxtor drive that looks like a chunk of charcoal in a plastic case? Is it poison? Is it a bad idea to eat things you find in hard drives? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not sure, but give it a taste test first! ;) |
