4:47 sounds like honda civic

The most beloved sound of my late 80's when I was a young kid writing small silly programs in dBase and Pascal :)

1:28 He is thinking about something

we got hdd live webcam before gta 6

This thing sure is cool! I guess anything with 9 platters would be difficult not to classify as cool though ;) A real HP is incredibly neat!

When I first heard this drive, I couldn’t believe it was 6400rpm.

Fast and rare SCSI HP!!! I like these drives!

very cool spin up)

i had one there, it broke in like 15 days back in 90's, lol. its annoying. 🙂

Bearings are louder here than on discord for some reason lol. Anyways, 6400rpm is defo an unusual speed for a hard drive but it exists, so why not? :) I love when HP didnt have budget cuts and made cool & durable things like this

I have several of these drives, the rubber shock mounts for the pcb tend to melt and make a mess (even on a NOS one that I have), but they are otherwise good drives.

Cool drive!

I used to have one of these things. Never worked, it wound up going into a river for a school experiment on corrosion.

Only the drive's spindle motor sounds like my whole pc By the way, in my collection, I've got the same Miniscribe drive. And unfortunately, the heads refuse to move, only the spindle motor works.

cool stuff, wasn't aware TEAC ever made voice coil hard drives

Even though this drive really didn't turn out as hoped, it was really nice to see it going from the inside!

For some reason I forgot this channel existed, lol. But what a shame that it's dead.

What a shame the drive PCB died. I wish you the best of luck on finding a new PCB, also those bearings are quite loud lol

10:26 i have a similar seagate that does this when there's an OS installed. It doesnt do it if the drive is empty tho

rare footage of arnold not being able to revive a drive

How about doing Windows ME next, Arnold?

Those maxtor atlas drives are crazy. I never heard them before.

Hello god night.

how do i run HDMonitor?

Not gonna lie, I think the ST33223A might have a bad PCB. Cuz if the heads would be bad, it'd likely click, and if it would be fine, it'd do it's seektest, right?

Arnold if you are looking at this comment do a full format on the wd red 4tb from a year ago.That should fix all pending sectors.Worked with my drives!

You certainly did well getting what you could out of it at the very least! Of course it's a massive bummer how this one turned out though. Very interesting drives.

CRINGEEEE🎉🎉😢

Hey at least it works better than my D3126H.

(joke) There is no difference between a cat and the RO652 hard drive. Both are noisy, both need energy, and both purr, lol

38:03 That’s correct. There aren’t MSN services yet in China iirc.

Looks really nice inside tbh, also sounds quite interesting too. Shame that it had problems, hopefully it's fine

i wonder how top head was just torn off. Maybe it was stuck on platter?

oh ma gud 0:04

0:04 - OUCH! That's definitely a noise you DON'T want to hear from an hard drive. In the past I had 2 of those drives, due to improper storage by me one ended having the heads stuck to the platters very hard, and when I tried to free the disk of course I ripped off the heads. As for the other one, when I powered it on for the first time when I found it, the stepper slammed repeatedly back and forth the head stack against the arm stops so hard that caused an extensive head crash all over the surfaces of all the platters. Bad controller. Some time after I found the IDE version of this drive for cheap on eBay and I snagged it immediately. It's in perfect condition, no bad sectors at all, and sometimes I take it off its box and give it a run to prevent it ending like my first NEC. That drive is special: it came from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Every time I grab the box I wonder if the person that wrote his and my address on the box is still alive, it's a strange and quite eerie feeling. On the drive there's still the original DOS installation, with some very old russian DOS games, a copy of Volkov Commander and some other stuff. That's a very special item I have in my collection.

Well try getting some replacement platters in there, maybe that may work?

I really like the seek sounds of this drive. It sounds different than most steppers I've heard.

0:42 looks like Windows 10

i got this drive on my ibm ps1 model 2011

I have only 83 Hard Drives from SATA to IDE 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch

Would love to find a 6.4gb ST or 8.4gb SE someday for a not ridiculous price, one day I’m sure.

That's Not A dommage Not A Damage!

oh man I love that miniscribe! that sound it makes is truly golden

buy a 2010 wd green 350gb hdd it sounds so good

request: try Windows Vista's pre build on modern hard drives and seek test

is this drive is really has so small space to hold only win 95 with simcity 3000 without some cities?

Sounds almost the same as an st-412. Pretty sure miniscribe was going to be a second source hard drive supplier for ibm’s 5160.

JTS is Jugi Tandon Storage- yes, that Tandon. Sirjang Lal "Jugi" Tandon founded the company in 1994 alongside Seagate co-founder Tom Mitchell to market a 3-inch drive that Sirjang developed for laptop computers. The factory for his later 3.5-inch standard drive offering was in his home country of India- specifically in Madras. It remains the only company to produce hard disk drives in India, at least that I know of.

Cool old hard drives! 29:21 I really like the hard drive quantum q250.
