And aluminium. 500,000 HD chassis’s would be a killer payday in aluminum

thats why he have youtube

Those are 25 million dollars worth of hard drives. Assuming 10% is only saleable metal, he could have easily made 2.5 million dollars.

@@edwardspencer9397 would you show your math? Curious how you came to that sum. Thanks

10 cents per hard drive.😊

This comment is gold

💯🙏👍

@@canonicaltom this reply is golden

I'm using the WD green HDD ftom 2012 till now and it's still going strong.

He took this vid. from someone else. The rest of the vid. frame for frame (from mixing of chemicals til the end) is not about hard drives. B.S.!

They sell recovered gold like this on ebay for like 7-8 bucks a gram. LOL!

That’s unrefined gold that sells for $8

Looks like a Shed load of copper in amongst the *Gold*.... Plus Where did the silver go?

I used 50 desktop pc HD from everything inside, chips, pins.. connectors .. the result was around 1,3g Gold, i was busy around 2 days nonstop stripping the part’s..had more than 30kg aluminum $ iron metals..the average weight for 500,000 pc hhd will be around: 350000kg

@@tomspeed2000 So do you mean you were only able to make about $70 from 50 computers?

You making up story's bro, No Bitcoin here, Where did that come from??

Excellent, but takes time to gather, very difficult

@@MakeGold I understand, I dismantled 280 computers myself and I'm just typing these information readers.

Yes there are but in very little cuantitys so its not profitable at this level (yuo need a ton of waste to be)

@@noway8233 I collect any gilding, the main thing is that it should be on the details. Gaining a kilogram will get some gold, but this gold can cover silver and it will be beautiful. Я собираю любую позолоту, главное чтобы она была на деталях. Набрав килограмм получим немного золота, но этим золотом можно покрыть серебро и будет красиво.

@@noway8233 10 milligrams is enough for me for gilding a small area. And I don't care where I can get the gilded material, thanks for your comment.

foram 500 mil hds..

You make a fair point. The potential financial gain from recovering 81 grams of gold, which could be worth around $6,000 at current market prices, is enticing. However, we have to carefully consider the risks and costs involved in pursuing this kind of precious metal extraction from electronic components. As we discussed, the processes required, such as using extremely corrosive acids like aqua regia and dealing with hazardous fumes, present serious health and safety hazards. Proper protective equipment, fume hoods, and approved hazardous waste disposal are an absolute necessity and very expensive for an individual to implement safely. Additionally, the source materials containing tiny amounts of gold, like gathering 500,000 hard drives you mentioned earlier, would require a monumental effort and likely cost more to acquire than the gold value recovered. So while the raw dollar value of the recovered gold is meaningful, the risks, costs of doing it properly, and scale required to make it worthwhile financially are likely prohibitive unless you have access to an industrial-scale precious metal refining operation. For an individual, it is probably wiser to avoid these kinds of hazardous extraction methods altogether. Recycling e-waste through legitimate regulated refiners is a much safer option, even if the personal financial gain is lower. Health, safety and environmental compliance should take precedence over pursuing relatively small amounts of precious metals through risky means. Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this.

so its not possible to un-alloy certain metals?

Tem leilões de peças eletrônicas, geralmente vem uns 100/200 HDs e o lance inicial é uns R$150. Claro que mesmo assim continua sendo muito difícil juntar toda aquela quantidade, mas... De pouquinho em pouquinho, chega lá

They didn't. That was factory parts. It can be done but it'll take many many hours of labor to harvest the little contacts. They should have explained that while showing where the parts they used came from on an assembled hard drive.

81.4 grams of pure gold is worth $4,966.23 on feb 20, 2022, but his gold is possibly not 3 9s fine. Buyers may not always buy at spot price. Depends on the market and the buyer. At 500000 pieces, that's less than 1 cent per hard drive. That assumes his title isn't in error.

For 500.000 hard drives...is not worth 4000$...only as a hoby..takes probably few years to colect 500.000 hard drives..but i think is much more other pieces they contain gold and much more gold than hard drives..even all the pins..the procesors etc..and many more..

I don't see the economics in this. Assuming that you have a mostly automated system to open the drive cases and prepare them for the part removal, it appears it takes at least 30 seconds to separate each gold plated contact. So, for 500,000 drives, it would require 250,000 minutes of manual handling time. That comes out to over 4000 hours - so you are getting a return of only a bit over $1/hour for your efforts - ignoring all other handling, processing, disposal and chemical costs. Working 10 hours a day on the prep, it would take over 400 days for this step - with a return of about $10/day or $300/month.

who give you 30 dollars? :))))) even if you ask for 1 dollar nobody give a shit for crap ....these days people searching for ssd m2

The raw material contains many types of metals. Different metals have different chemical effects. We use chemicals. to remove unwanted metals to leave the metal we need such as gold etc.

They didn't, look closer.

No kidding right? How does someone get other people to commit 50 hard drives for free, let alone 500,000?

500000 hard drives

You must think you're special... smh
