Ikr! You have a bunch of SUPER sensitive metal platter spinning at 5000, 7000, hey, sometimes up to 10,000 RPM, and all it takes is that arm scratching the surface, and wave goodbye to 50 gigabytes in an instant.

There are definitely a lot of fashinating technology and science behind these things.

Lol

A friend of my dad's said years ago about DOS-era computing that "It's like a dancing bear- the impressive thing is not that it's dancing well, it's that its dancing at ALL!"

It really is super crude if you think about it isn't it? 😂

Lol or my Xbox 360 running gtaIV

Sounds like a jet engine in the process

Its because xbox 360 and ps3 have HDD. Suprisingly some of the ps4 and xbox 1 units have them as well.

@@baileymackie1949 sorry, all ps4 and xbox one also have HDD. unless a person manually upgraded theirs, They all come with spinner drives.

same as ps4 running warzone

Hahahah it kinda does

Habibi=my lover

Chillingworth hahaha hadidi for HDD

Habibi sheli

@@ChillFrost i didn't think it wkkkk

same way it's done with vinyls and record players I'd imagine.

flap cat Science!

+DarkByke Twitch Hard drives work magneticly when data is written to the platter! :)

I find it hard to believe you can literally store computer files on sticks and yet we use them all the time.

It's not a knife, it's a magnet that reads binary code burned into the disc, each binary code is called a bit, 8 bits make a byte, a thousand bytes make a kilobyte a thousand kilobytes make a megabyte a thousand megabytes make a gigabyte, a thousand gigabytes make a terabyte, and so on and so forth.

well his hdd is dead anyway

the drive was already dead

In response to the two captain obvious in your replies, Thank you I didn't know that

This drive was already dead

I have a question please answer! Last week my Laptop suddenly has been shutdowned after it I could not turn on my Notebook anymore. Or rather: my Notebook cannot boot up anymore I was too sad because I was playing a video game After some days I discovered that the problem is, is my Hard drive Tell me guys I can use my Laptop normally after I buy and swap with an new one Hard drive? Or should I buy new things like motherboard or an new battary? Is that possible that all of the parts have been damaged because of the Hard drive? Need professional answer pls!

@@abysswatchers3501 hard drive wouldnt damage other components. Your pc wont boot because your OS is on the broken drive. You would have to get a new drive and reinstall whatever OS you use.

@@rada4288 hahaha I was translating what OS means then I found out it is my windows Ty sir

@@abysswatchers3501 You're welcome, good luck.

It basically “floats on air”. the reader head is specially designed to be very aerodynamic and lightweight. On both sides of the reader head, there are drag and air pressure differences created by the rapidly spinning disks. These air pressure differences allow it to self correct its position to avoid collisions. If it swings too far away from the platter, aerodynamics will pull it back down. If it swings too close to the platter, increasing air pressure and drag towards the platter will push it back away, thereby avoiding a collision. It’s remarkably precise. And essentially aerodynamics and a handful of air molecules are all that exist between the reader arm and the platter. Even a spec of dust is enough to create a hard drive crash if it were to somehow get through the drive’s filter. Edit: it’s also worth noting that areodynamics can only protect the platters when the disk is spinning, as the drag required to float the heads isn’t present when the drive is off. Hard drives avoid this problem by moving the heads off to the side before spinning down the disk. In general, drop resistance is significantly superior when the drive is off than when it is spinning.

@@photoniccannon2117 So I should turn off my hard drives before drop testing them, thanks, how about SSDs?

@@satsumagt5284 SSDs have zero moving parts, they could probably survive a remarkable amount of abuse honestly. Now you have me curious. 😂

@@photoniccannon2117 Never tried hammering my 970 EVO or dropping my laptop (Samsung Notebook Odyssey 2), but I don’t think either would end up well

@@satsumagt5284 In some places in Europe, data security laws are strict enough to incentivize manufactures to require consumers to literally physically destroy SSDs before returning them. Not sure how often that’s actually done, but folks have brought out drills to destroy them before.

Because it sorta is? Hard disk is in a way a thicc disc with its own reader.

I thought It was the fan

@@mariocolombino6480 me too

So did I until I realized that I didn’t have one

You can just replace it...

@@DemeDemetremoney....

Old days where my brokin disk got Touhou 1-5 installed there and the disk go bzzzt bzzt brrrrtttt

Was it a 3TB Toshiba External Hard Drive? I feel you, Bro...

Backup ! Backup !! Backup !!!

What is the easiest way to back up a hard drive?

Clone

detestabel X. My Seagate 1.5 tb external hard drive has failed. It happens after i had to pull out without safe ejecting because my pc stalled after not being able to load the content of the hard drive. Then i plugged it again but it made a beeping sound. So i unplugged it and then tried it the next day when it started vibrating a few seconds apart. But still not able to access the hard drive. I'm planning on giving it to a Seagate service center to salvage whatever i can if possible. What do you think? Is it a goner or do i have some hope.?

Yeah I'm actually here from the tvtropes page pointing that out, super cool little detail.

Woah!

your comment is one year old, but if you still see this, the thing about my hard drive is that it makes that noise.. but continuously, only stops for about 1-3 seconds

@@killshot1029 I know this comment is a year old, but my laptop just started continuously making that noise as well. What was wrong with yours?

@@Keresechetty I have no clue, still haven't figured it out either, I've just replaced it with a new one. That hard drive was like 10 years old anyway and didn't bother fixing it.

@@killshot1029 thanks! I guess I'll have to do the same

Thanks bro ❤❤

As I do know what one looks like. How would the average Joe know without looking into it or googling an image.

Yep... I think I know how one works... SOmewhat. So, correct me of I'm wrong, But... The disk is where the Data and your OS is stored, and the Needle on ther ereads all the Data, and, if you take the cover off of the Hard drive, there is a risk of hurting yourself.

This is why it's important to make a second backup on an optical disk while the drive is still alive.

If you open the HDD it's game over for the drive end of discussion

I have an acer aspire with a hard drive similar to this I think It was between 95 and 99

Make a backup just in case

@@Engineerknowsbest I’m getting a new one, but I’ve already moved all my most important things off of the other one, thanks

@@mysticalG33 It props got a stuck head kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jq-FoZNk1Z7Km40.html

Yep just accidently did that with my lenovo. Was messing around with some strong magnets and set them on my computer without thinking. Next day it crashes and the hard drive just makes a repetitive click with a black screen. Big oof on my part lol

My laptop has an SSD not an HDD

Its fruatating i think

First of all, if the hard drive was your first boot device and that your os was installed on it, your pc can't even boot!

@@roland72777 oh shit. Thats not good...

@@roland72777 Wow! So you can't access anything? Oh my god. THat is very fascinating. Is there anything you can DO with these hard drives apart from taking them apart and using them as fridge magnets?

Back it up to a usb or something so you don’t lose ur data just in case

consider it like its about to die, always backup

don't worry :P

Kilz Knight same :")

Back up and change it

Marky D My hdd starts zuuuuuu.... sound and then clicks and then stops and then starts again zuuuuu...... click stop ???? What should i do??? What is it 100% usage almost 30min to boot up and then hangs everytime some work done

Marky D u wont believe wtf just happen .... i freeze the hard drive in the freezer and then boot it up again but it didnt showed any difference after 4,5 hrs i booted the system again and the fuckin thing is working man without any sound or anything infact it is better than the 5,6 months ago iam having the problem ?? Is the problem magically solved or should i save for another harddrive ??????

Some people say the same thing, but it doesn't work. If you have some bad sectors, the only thing that maybe can solve it is going with a technician and try to repair the sectors, but if the problem is physical or mechanical, such as scratched platters or misaligned heads, there is only a chance of 10% that any professional can recover it, but in most cases, you will need to buy a new hard drive.

sorry if I misspelled something. I'm from Mexico and I have a bit of bad english (I think)

@@rohanbhalerao340 can you tell me the right procedure how long did you freeze it
