"Brute Forcing" A Hard Drive *Pics*

[ub3rnewb]

I use this drive as an example to all hard drives that would dare fail on me. It died a few months back, so I finally pwned it today.

Weapons of Choice

Is it supposed to bend like this?

Where did the platters go?

Pwned

But I thought they were gold colored?

EDIT: Links fixed.
EDIT: Again...

 

[JDrake]

GJ on the links BTW

 

[mchammer]

Glass platters I see, yep an IBM

next time use a high powered lazer BTW data can still be recovered from that you need to break out some huge magnets.

LMAO! next time, if you've got 2 broken ones, pit them against each other to see if either one breaks

 

[cavemanmoron]

Death star.

Yeah i have a dead one here someplace,LOL.

I used to take old harddrives to my buddies farm and use them for target practice. I had this one that had a beautiful 30-06 hole right through the center. So sweet.

The funny part is that when I was beating the crap out of the top lid, one of the screws flew out and nailed me on the head.

your OS is out for revenge you dont have XP do ya?

 

[diapickle]

Death Star Indeed

75GXP or 60GXP?

I myself still have a 40GB 60GXP in my case, the force is strong with this one. I will keep it in my museum if it ever fails.

Let's see... The original OS was Windows ME. (Steaming pile of 5hit that it is.) Windows XP installed later, but its last use before it died permanently was in my modded Xbox.

Edit: Not sure on the model number, trash went out today, so I can't go check. 40GB, 7200RPM though.

That would be a 60GXP then. Maybe I should show my HDD these pictures.

Hahaha, either it'll work twice as hard for you, or have an over-spin and die.

[Gillbot]

My brother an I did that with a few old SCSI Micrapolis drives.
