@@Astr0-1408yeah, that’s what I assumed was happening, after having watched loads of those videos where songs are played on such motors (floppy drives, electric toothbrushes, etc)
the spindle motor is very cool (ok real time) so i just disassembled a hard drive for the very first time and i was shocked what was inside (yes ik i looked at pictures but not irl) and uhh i decided to remove the heads because without them they look like those Quantum Fireball ST headstacks

you are right! a better idea would be by opening the drive, hear me out i know how to fix theese, maxtor drives are very durable and can stay open for a while before damaging , you can try carefuly and quickly opening the drive, grabbing the central spindle and spinning it with your hand , if the heads are not next to the spindle , move them making sure to NOT touch the disk . after this , close the drive instantly and put the screws on. i dont recomend you re-using this drive . recover all your important files and buy a new one@@Zeddify
I have honestly never heard that sound before. All of the old Maxtor drives I have are still kicking around. Pretty sure I have at least 3 of that exact model, except without the Apple Format. Great drives.

open it up and put some 3 in 1 motor oil on the bearings. those bearings go fast for many hours so expect it to get jammed at some point without maintenance
I don't think so, but it has a voice coil to move the read/write heads, and I believe it can make sound. For example, my Seagate drive beeps when it doesn't receive enough power to continue to operate.
maxtor drives from the 9 10 and 11 make music, the motor tries to free itself by applying as lot of force and trembling the heads like crazy (in the end of the music) if you listen closely you can notice that @@H53.

They're fine to have in any position as long as you don't move them while they're on. Old Dell computers, for example, used to have them mounted vertically like this
you can use your drive verticaly without problems , the problem here is sticktion of the motor , the motor got stuck and the only way to fix it is by opening the drive and unstucking it by hand . you can put your hard drive sideways and verticaly without no problem
@@drozcompany4132 Desktop hard drives are not any different in this regard. As long as you are not moving the drive much while it is in motion, it does not matter what orientation you put it in. Why would they design hard drive toasters if putting them vertical harmed the drives?

I had this once. At night. As a 11yr old. Loud as hell, this noise scared me shitless 😌
This happened to my ps3, not at all in the same way but it blasted the loudest shredder sound through my house it was almost terrifying
I bet that took awhile to clean up!
@@BaconFaceMcGee ok🤨
@@Noahcastaneda8862 Very messy.
Oh that absolutely sounds “don’t do this at 3am” levels of scary for an 11y/o!
Since when do hard drives make digital noises like a video game?
Yeah i wanna know too
i think thats from the device that the hdds connected to
Unless the drive has stepper motors that are making that noise...
@@Astr0-1408yeah, that’s what I assumed was happening, after having watched loads of those videos where songs are played on such motors (floppy drives, electric toothbrushes, etc)
cuz it was dropped or something idk but the bearing popped up and this caused a seized spindle
It's a seized spindle motor.
i fixed a lot of maxtor drives , when the make music (diamond max 9 ,10 and 11) you can unstuck the motor by hand
the spindle motor is very cool (ok real time)
so i just disassembled a hard drive for the very first time and i was shocked what was inside (yes ik i looked at pictures but not irl)

idc if it stopped working, it was dead way back so i didn’t care much
HDD: Starts cooking a cool chiptune.

A musical Maxtor
Bang it on the table when it tries to spin, it may unstick the motor.
not a good idea. the head will destroy itself

@@Zeddifycan't break it more than it already is
Hahaha I did this with a similar maxtor
its been a full decade since this video game out, its probably long dead
someone sample this
Aight I’ll try.
The classic Maxtor spindle music!
" M A X T O R 😎"
It has a good beat honestly.

MY HARD DRIVE IS DYING!!!!!
I remember those drives. I didn’t know they made music when dying. Sad outcome.
*cool chiptune* “Maxtor™”
I think tech support was calling
Rip old guy you lived a good life
this could actually go hard
"~~Maxtoooor!"
When the hard drive got a beat to it 😳
Awesome video, thank you.
Happy decade-aversary!
New ringtone. "MAXTOR"
Eyyy we gettin lit stick on the M A X T O R hdd failure jingle ✊😞😣😔
That's sad.
That's definitely the song of death.
Every german doctors telephone
It caught the IBM Deathstar virus 🤣🤣
Is it the pwm speed controller indicating something 🤨
Not sure if it broke, or if someone is calling me
I have the exact model and it is still functioning to this date
I remember a western digital Scorpio blue did a sound that ment it died
Wow this run a game sond
Never seen a hard drive mounted vertically.
can it be fix
congrats on having a dead, "unkillable" drive
i remember these were fast but break often
Now I want one
its not dying, its already dead
well,
Like Ukraine now...

bruh someone should sample this and make a full tune out of it
Tf im getting serious deja vu from this video
This is MAXTOR language for, did you make a backup?
it's sound like the steam deck's boot song
Imagine getting a call on you HDD
open it up and put some 3 in 1 motor oil on the bearings. those bearings go fast for many hours so expect it to get jammed at some point without maintenance
What u use to calling people
The HDD
Is it still dead?
I think it's trying to contact the mothership.
I’ve heard this exact sound on my PS3 when it refused tonoot
Does this drive literally have a speaker placed on it? It sounds just like one!
I don't think so, but it has a voice coil to move the read/write heads, and I believe it can make sound. For example, my Seagate drive beeps when it doesn't receive enough power to continue to operate.
Its the motor

Me screaming at someone:
Max0r NOOOOOOO
Sounds like a house phone 😂
bro this kinda hits hard
I can't imagine having it running vertically ever helped
Drives run fine like that. My PC has them mounted vertically, and it’s OEM WD Green lasted 14 years before failure.
Putting a PC speaker in a hard drive sure is an idea .
It ain't no quantum bigfoot though.
It's thinkin :D
I never thinked HDD have speamer
They basically are one
speamer
Ah yes the revolutionary speamer
My computer needs speamer
beamer
MAX secTOR reallocation 😂
Does the motor make this beeping tune itself or is there a warning beeper in this drive?

@@OmegaHellHound543 I know that hard drives can make music like that but I wasn’t sure if this would be the same or not. I thought it might be.
@@teddytaylor5315 it’s either that, or the motor is seized up, and that’s just the windings making a loud noise.
WOW
Nice boot-up jingle.
It decided to pursue a career in music instead.
Currently holding one of these (Mine is 6l300r0 pata133) in my left, with terror on my face
maxtor
Mine just goes "click... click... click... (aggressive Windows noises)... click... click... click... BOOM!... (media disconnected noise)..."
Try putting a 1 TB hard drive into an iMac G5 and see if it will work.
😅😅😅😅well information good show 😅😅
i need this adapter😭
Same
at this point this hdd is not only dying it is already dead lol
the disk is not damaged , its fixable
my maxtor drive worked great until it didn't.
LoL 😅 not as bad as a 10000RPM Raptor when that dies 😂
Fix the motor it is stuck
Doom Eternal is a game, you play it
somebody pick up the phone, I cant hear the noise
Wtf i head about 20 dead drives but not this beep boop bs
i know how to fix theese, maxtor drives are very durable and can stay open for a while before damaging , you can try carefuly and quickly opening the drive, grabbing the central spindle and spinning it with your hand , if the heads are not next to the spindle , move them making sure to NOT touch the disk . after this , close the drive instantly and put the screws on. i dont recomend you re-using this drive . recover all your important files and buy a new one
happened to me, happens when the readers or the elletrics parts die's, happen to me this 8-bit sound in my external hard drive
microwawe it to fix!!!1!111!1 (just kidding, dont do that)
Never put hdd as vertical.
They're fine to have in any position as long as you don't move them while they're on. Old Dell computers, for example, used to have them mounted vertically like this
@@redpheonix1000 they not live enough with this position. Even creators said not put that way.
@@VITAS874 you don't even know how a hard disk works
@@kennethbosquemarinmoved1078 i think you don't know. I have 2 and they perfect in horizontal
no wonder its dead. you used it vertically...
What is the logic here? Hard drives don’t die from being in the wrong orientation, or we’d be seeing a lot more dead laptops
you can use your drive verticaly without problems , the problem here is sticktion of the motor , the motor got stuck and the only way to fix it is by opening the drive and unstucking it by hand . you can put your hard drive sideways and verticaly without no problem
