My entire hard drive collection as of April 2023. Over 45 minutes of hard drives spinning up and down!
The drives are sorted by capacity, smaller first. For drives of the same capacity, I placed all duplicates of the same model one after another.
The capacity indicated in the video is as reported by speedsys for drives under 40GB. For drives of 40GB or higher it is the one listed on the drive’s label.
A few of the recordings have been edited either to remove long pauses for some early drives that wait for the controller before doing the seektest and/or for the drives that I needed to actually boot as they need to be parked before spinning down.
If you like hard drive sounds, you may consider watching my single drive videos, where I record the drives in action rather then just the seektest :)

It's interesting how on old drives that had really slow spinups you can hear the separate initial pulses to the coils.

Ahhh yes the classic school/library computer lab loud boot up noise with that spinning and crackling that would sometimes maybe even send shock down your spine. Not gonna lie. I kind of miss old, loud hard drive you could definitely tell they’re turning on. They always sound like they’re broken, but they’re not 😂

I may not be in the era of hard drives and their noisy ancestor the modem, but I love the odd sounds of computing. The whirrs, the grinding static, the beep boops; melodies to my auditory sensors.

Exactly. I understand SCSI2SD, or CF to IDE adapters, etc are really important, but it isn't the same without the loud bangs of the HDDs. Another reason I don't like modern hard drives, and prefer SSDs. If it doesnt make a goofy sound like a hamster trying his best to power a PC, then I'd rather take the speed.

When I started growing the collection in 2021 it was after seeing GeeniDee's early seagate and WD video. Because of the opened ST3491A I was already fond of the seagates with that design and decided I would try to get as many different models of the "boat shape" seagates as I could. The ones I don’t have yet are the ST1057A, ST3057A, ST3123A and ST3291A, but I will probably never get them, they seem to be unobtainium, some of these don’t even have a single picture of them on google. As for the other seagates, some were cheap and others were in the lots I got. Seems like they were fairly common

I salvaged one seagate 1 TB SATA hdd from a retired office PC, they restored it using the built in recovery partition and gave it to me, in Hard Disk Sentinel shows as bad, 76 reallocated sectors and 30 days estimated lifetime remaining. Having a modern PC I set the UEFI to BIOS and my controllers to IDE mode so I can use MHDDl, in the first run it showed a >500ms block and a second run nothing abnormal, but I bumped the Caps Lock key and i discovered that toggling it it will cause a delay marking whatever sector it is reading as red l, so I guess hardware interrupts interfere with the scan, HDsentinel ran read/writes tests without any new reallocation or significant delay but is SMART which is concerning me, I didnt save any important data to it, but is running fine, it has a power on time of 1034 days, no unusual noises or any concerning issues. i boot from an SSD so said drive spends most of the time spun down when im not using my virtual machines

Dude you're mad ... and you got them in a short period of time, too. Collection tuned out pretty nice ^^

@arnlol Жыл бұрын

Well I have been into hard drive sounds since so long, but I just was listening to them on youtube until I decided to grow the collection in 2021. No regrets! I wish I had better luck though, drives with bad sectors or that arrive dead and sellers shipping with no protection is common sadly.

@gennidee Жыл бұрын

@@arnlol That's why I rarely buy drives nowadays.Too expensive and too faulty. I think for now my collection is finished. Not that I have all models I wanted ...

@arnlol Жыл бұрын

@@gennidee Yeah that's certainly a gamble that you have to take and finding good deals can be complicated, also the lower priced lots often end up poorly packaged as well. That's a hobby where you have to accept you'll have some loss when you get into it, and it's only going to get worse as time goes by. Bummer that you couldn't get all the models you wanted, but really not too surprizing at this point

@arnlol 5 ай бұрын

What is a dream, having a big collection of hard drives like this? If you want, you can still make it not a dream, it'll take some time and money but it's possible. In early 2021 when I really started I only had a few drives, and now I'm slowly but surely getting close to 300 drives...

@xmunki1389 7 ай бұрын

Nice, this was a joy to watch. I got a question. For how long were these drives unpowered before you got them running for this video? I know I have a drive somewhere in my house (with quite important data) that I haven't powered on for around 7-8 years, and I'm utterly paranoid that it won't work when I finally find it and try to use it. Should I be worried about this?

Hard to believe that some old drives from around 25-30+ years ago still work today (maybe even more so at the time of upload if you're reading this months, if not years from then). We sure have come a long way in terms of data storage room.

Do you really think so? After all, there can only be so many people interested by the very niche thing that is old hard drive sounds. I feel like getting a few hundred, or even a few thousands views sometimes isn’t that bad considering the subject :)

Yeah hard drives, old or new, with little or a lot of usage can fail. that's why you should have a copy of your data on multiple devices to reduce the risk of loosing things. SSDs can also fail, and it sometimes really isn't predictable

There's some tape there, it is clear tape, you can see the light reflecting on it. With nothing it certainly wouldn't last very long at all that's for sure (you would hear a really loud air noise as well). It's kind of a miracle that this drive even works at all
