- Exedus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dugg just for the fact that this was A DIRECT LINK!! I think I'm going to pass out. Take notes kiddies, this guy knows how to link to a story.
- alanmarchman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I can't believe no one made the obvious comment of "If I had an arm that moved that fast I'd never leave the house!"
- biogret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Anyone else felt an urgent desire to run defrag? :)"
That thought was running through my head the entire time. - spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Whoa that was sweet!
"God damn WMV... *digs out Windows Media Player* ...Wow neat."
Mine worked in Winamp :S
"Anyone else felt an urgent desire to run defrag? :)"
hehe I was just thinking that ;) - Schone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1New respect for hard disk drives now.. amazing devices...
The arm and the drive head must be really light to be able to move that fast.. the inertia... - FrothyByte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1All of that and it is still the slowest component in your computer.
- matt.rubin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i think we killed the website heres the same video i found on google
http://www.zippyvideos.com/194785976991255/computer_hard-drive/ - sparkmonkeyz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1very nice. you can get HDs that have a clear surface for that awsome case mod
(they sell them @ Best Buy and I dont think i saw them any were else but the internet) - dylan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why can't I buy hard drives with a transparent cover? :(
- oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very Nice!!! A view of something one does not get to see. One can see why failure is bound to happen eventually!!!
Cyborg
yes - Legato, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this is why the hard drive is the most failure prone component in any given computer.
this is why people are working on something solid state
and this is totally awesome! - cyberghost232, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"how we have attained this level of technology is really a miracle"
Roswell dude c'mon. - cbdgr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the funny thing is i saw this video before i saw http://www.wdraptorx.com/index.asp?bhcp=1 western digital lies!!!!!
- flowaus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where's the video which shows the head jamming itself into the disc and killing all your porn?
- inerte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Anyone else felt an urgent desire to run defrag? :)
- SoccerBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very kewl... I have a couple old drives laying around, I might have to try this
- metalrock76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome.
- neoDingo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0DIGG! I actually did the same thing, back in 92-93 with my old crappy 386sx16 Packard Bell and a hard drive with too many bad sectors to be any good, I used to run win 3.11(crashed every 5 minutes)
- knightmare, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i made of video like that before...i had an old junk drive that i opened attached and whatched work..it was cool...sounded cool too....but we will all see up close soon with the new raptor
- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Look at that. 2387 diggs. I'm the king.
- Penmaton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Crazy... Digg...
- terafunker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very interesting. It's all the more amazing that iPods and laptops have about the same thing going on even whilst be bounced around and dropped and who knows what else!
- teamgreen02, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's amazing.
- UnKnownViper27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's DOPE!
- thekurst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very Cool. Dugg
- ZoomBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think Flash media can only be written and read a certain number of times before it's garbage. I'll stick with hard disk media for the meantime, I've got a 12GB Maxtor hard drive in my computer from 1999 that holds non-important data and still runs like a charm.
AND IT'S MAXTOR, can you believe it STILL runs? lmao. - mrjeffery, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Really nice
- chromo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0im suprised hard drives work for so long......i think im scared of my hard drive now.
- Greenline, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sweet thanks!
- mathie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now I know I shouldn't kick the case when the HDD light is blinking rapidly :)
- DuraznosTJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow, impressive
- Tetsuo6995, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great video !
Thanks ! - yensed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very Awesome! +Dugg
- DownloadThis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow. Pretty awesome. I just ordered a WD 320 SATA 150. WD claims that it can withstand "1 Million Hours" of use (that's 114 years). Those mechanical arms are damned tough.
Still, it's going to be nice when we're all using Flash media, or another form of solid state storage with no moving parts in our PC/Servers. - Punch405, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0+1 digg for the direct no-blog link.
- *Ica*, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"iPods have a buffer, so when loading music, it loads it into the buffer and 'turns off' the hard drive. When the buffer it out it spins up the hard drive and fetches the next song (this is for a playlist or song list that stays the same, it is not the same for shuffled music)."
Interesting that mate, so does that mean if I have my iPod on shuffle it would use up more battery? - chongy5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Amazing - dugg.
- soupisgoodfood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's seems as if no one here has ever taken the cover off a running hard drive before. I must be the only true nerd here.
- mckone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool. Dugg.
- brownman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sooooooooooooooo cool
+++digg - crackintosh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, I need to go defrag my drive now!
- JAWA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's a cool video. I knew the arm moved fast, but that's fast. That's neo in the matrix fast.
- cbaileyau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wish i could digg it twice!
- RMuffin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Holy Crap, that was sweet.
Thanks for the Direct Link also. - squenix1221, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is cool...yeah i want to see a raptor 10K do this
