08:10 I had one of these, but it got Bad Sectors and S.M.A.R.T failure during start up. It was really slow because of that. You can still buy these drives, but you have to look for it for a very long time.
Ah......I still remember the day when I built a Athlon XP PC....using these: CPU:Athlon XP 1700+ HDD:Seagate Medalist,1.7GB (most likely came from a 486/Pentium 1 PC) RAM:128MB ODD:Samsung CD-ROM Video card:1MB S3 Trio 64 Network:Realtek 8139A PCI PSU:Delux 400W Case:Delux MT375 I used that HDD with Windows XP SP1 until I got a 40GB Maxtor.Now both are dead,and I'm using a 10GB Seagate ST310211A 10GB,extracted from a Xbox.
I’m surprised that you don’t have the ST 277R-1 by SEAGATE it basically a RLL version of ST 251N witch is faster than the ST 251N and is 60MB. By the way I had a SEAGATE U8 80 GB in my COMPAQ PRESARIO 5030T internet PC witch was the first one of the 5000T class series of internet and multimedia computers the original Bigfoot HARD Drive failed so I upgraded the computer to the 80 GB 7200RPM SEAGATE HDD IN 2000 and I scraped the computer because it was obsolete but I did keep it’s INTEL PENTIUM II MMX processor that was INTEL’S best processor back in the day. It made a unique startup sound.
I love the sound of the old Quantum and Seagate hard disk drives.... thats music to my ears. Some years ago I still had some SCSI drives with capacities less than 10 gb, but spinning at 15k rpm. I just loved to switch them on all together!
That first western digital caviar's seek test brings back so many memories for me because I had an old computer that I would mess around with all day long until something didn't work any more. I want to get one of those drives again still.
4:13/I have a hard drive very similar looking to that one in my Windows 98 machine, except mine is a Quantum Fireball 6.4GB model. Love the noise it makes!
Damn, I used to have loads of drives like this...Probably had 30 of them at one time. Mostly 3.5 IDE, but I had three quantum bigfoots, and a couple huge 5,25 inch hull height SCSIs. But I became greedy for they magnets.
Old memorys! i have a working Windows 98 Computer with 1 GB Disk space, he make the same noises like the Caviar 2540. And i have a smaller Version with 512 MB
What can i do with these hard drives? Hitatchi 250gb (windows vista) Samsung 160gb (54 bad sectors) Samsung 160gb (click of death + bad bearings) Samsung 1tb (Has windows 7) Samsung 1tb (extern) The reason i knew its a Samsung drive is because it makes exactly the same sound as my other Samsung hdd Seagate 750gb (Has windows 7) Maxtor 200gb (Has windows XP) (Dont know what drive it is) 250gb (extern) Seagate 320gb (2.5) (Has windows 10) Toshiba 640gb (2.5) (Has windows 10) Hitatchi 40gb (2.5) (nothing installed)
@@evandernilsen2579 What I did was I brought a SATA/IDE to USB adapter for about $20. You can also use a power supply but some of them like the Hitachi might require you to plug it in to something like the IDE cable into it in order for it to spin up. You can also just take a spare computer you have and take the side panel off and hope the power cable is long enough to reach the hard drives. I find it much easier to just use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter as it is very easy to use. For example in my CZcams video "Seagate 2TB Click Of Death" that was before I had a IDE/SATA to USB adapter and you can see that I just plugged the power supply into the hard drive along with the SATA cable into the motherboard if you look closely at the top of the screen. You can also hear in that video that I used a PC to power it on because of the beep from the BIOS and the fans. Any video I did after that I used a IDE/SATA adapter to power on the hard drives.
@Gatewayuser200 My 12 year old mind unfortunately didn't see it that way. It's amazingly annoying, because my Apple IIc and about four i486 machines suffered similar fates under the hand of my 10 year old mind.
3:11 I have a drive that make the same sound, just a little slower (Model ST3491A) 5:52 Before I have a 8Gb seagate that makes the exact same sond but it is dead now :( 6:27 Lol funny sound :o Old hard drives sonds are pretty nice! too bad, new hard drives makes an soo little sound when they read/write now
the old western digital drives make the best noises ever!

Wow, those newer hard disks are so much quieter than the older ones, particularly that Samsung hard drive, I could barely hear it whyen it started up.
Oldest hard drives I have are a 10GB Seagate HDD and an 8GB Seagate HDD. Both are IDE.

I have a Seagate st-412 Which holds 10 mb!
hahah! SEAGATE FART at 6:28 LOL.
I don't know how many people will realize it...but these old hard drives start up just like some of the units in Total Annihilation...:)
I have a lot of 40GB HDD from 2003-2005 This was the normally XP Size for HDD´s
I like hard Drives from 1993-2003 because they have unique Sounds
Maxtor IBM Western Digital Samsung and Segate 1993-2004 are my favorite Hard Drives
6:29 that seagate medalist has a great seektest
i love the quantum drive noize. reminds me of the good days of computers... and school computers...

4:57 i have that, perfect sound!
woo hoo quantum fireball!! i have a 2.6 gb in my old hp computer!
I currently have a Seagate Medalist 4321 (4.3 GB) and the U4 (8.4 GB)
the seagate sounded like it farted!!!!lol
the WD caviar series used to always have the same seek test configuration
that quantum fireball brought back some memories

6:52 Could you elaborate how you re-aligned the heads? I have an old Quantum drive that also clicks and doesn't detect... Could it be the same issue?
That Samsung hard drive is massive! compared to your older ones. 9:10
4:03 I like Quantum click :)
Imagine how much power you would need to get all those drives to startup
That st225-n sounded cool

I made similar videos to yours in 2020. Just MFM drives. My oldest are Seagate ST-412 and a 10MB NEC from July 1984. Also have a fully working Kalok.
i'd love to hear them ROAR all at once :D
Did anyone else not pay attention and just play in the snow?
I have a Caviar 21200. Its my dos drive for my pentium 200 MMX
I got the same exact hard drive, the Maxtor Slimline 20GB (7:50), removed for a gateway computer.
I like it:) I am a hard drive collector too lol
subbed
Makes me feel bad for smashing all my old drives :(
Gabriel Ward you should
@@jellydiablo8573 YOU SHOULDN'T!
I have Seagate medalist 4310 and it do the same sound when testing.
I had THE Same drive as you it has click of death in it but still usable at 8:10
5:48 That Seagate U4 sounds like it wants to die!
indeed
@@XLGaming It does seem like the U series of drives sound like when a good drive starts to go bad. Odd but they seem very good.
All of my U4 sounds like this
@@Oddworld_levels_hacks_and_more I knew it was normal, however it is just unusual the way they sound.
@@cdos9186 I going to add some new videos to my second channel
8:30 That drive is the type of drive that was in original XBoxes! (Yes, the original had a bigger drive than the 360. That's MS for you.)
I had original XBOX that had a Seagate barracuda 8GB hard Drive.

@CDiFan237 I get a Drive what is older than your Miniscribe 2012 I get a Seagate st412 from 1981 !!!
That Maxtor Slimline Hard Drive probably Runs Windows XP Home Edition
I have Fujitsu MPC3064AT too, and works fine, I have win XP there.
What can i do with these hard drives?
Hitatchi 250gb (windows vista)
Samsung 160gb (54 bad sectors)

Make a video about each one spinning up, doing their seek test, and spinning down.
@evander nilsen you can also make backups on some of them like the Hitachi 40GB.

Amazing Disk :D
@Patryk2609 I have a NEC Drive from 1988 and I still use it.
Yes, but is built by Quantum.

UNQUANTIFIABLE AMOUNT.
great sounds =D i like it
Ah wait. Now i watched the video and it's the Maxtor Slimline 2B020H1, am i rite?
03:04 -> I have a open hard drive that make exactely the same seek test sound
good job
The oldest disk I have, is a 1988 120 MB IBM hard drive. Too bad it's ESDI
