Hard drive collection - Spin up/down of over 70 hard drives from 40MB to 4TB ! 

1:28 I love this sound. Sounds like a music

there's asmr then there's these beauties humming like angels

9:22 the HDD opening a bottle of wine: Oh, not again!

5:58 i love that "horn" sound, like a warning before engine start 🙂 I had that drive in my first PC 386dx 40MHz in 1993. 😍

10:28 - Love this one! Sounds like a jet engine powering up!

1:41 i like how the drive is 1 WHOLE MEGABYTE larger than the previous 40mb drive

Amazing how many different memories and feelings I get by just hearing these drives spin up or seek. 8:48 seeking of this drive takes me back to my childhood. Love this video!

4:46 I will buy that hard drive! Fkng beautiful 😍❤️

19:43 The Seagate U5 was the hard drive I had in my first computer back in the 2000s. I had the 10GB model. The sound of that seek test is so nostalgic to me, I recognized it immediately despite looking away from the video.

There's something oddly calming about the Quantum Viking II 9.1GB (13:51) quitely spinning up and initalising.

beautiful retro sound... i love them all

I’ve heard those early Samsung drives like the one at 4:00 were some of the most delicate drives ever, if you were rough with them in any sort of way like place them down hard, they would have damage occur. Never heard one of those, I really do love the sound it makes.

This is like a hearing an angelic choir to me

Just think how many hard drive companies are left.

Spinning platters covered in magnet dust is something that can never replicated, from the spinning, clicking, and odd gradual sector failure I also have a 1TB WD Caviar black, I never remembered what it sounded like (Was always masked by everything else, specially those stupid front case fans), failed a long time ago, still never found out what's wrong with it

Very helpful video to Know the history of the old to new Hard drive (1990-2021).. thanks bro ❤️❤️

Thank you for showing the reverse side of these drives also! Fascinating !

That's the type of content the Internet is for, at least for us geeks/nerds :-D

I have a hdd in my new pc bought about 7 months ago. It has also a all in one water cooler and this whole time i thought that the pump was faulty making this noise. Now that ive watched this vid im convinced to drop my hdd from a building. Thank you!

You can say what you want but the miniscribe 4:45 and the Maxtor 7850av 8:26 are the best bieutiful peaceful start up! And the seagate 2:12 !

Nostalgia. Memories. Some nightmares, mostly a prelude to "C:> doom.exe"

Vintage Nerd ASMR. Open it up, be transported back to the heady days of Eternal September.

Now this is something I’ve been looking for.

1:28 that sg jammin

Every hard drive sound is satisfyingly

wow dude... this was a LOT of work.. ty

Some of these are gold, thanks for sharing

8:42 and thats where the 1GB disks history began!

This is a very nice collection bro!

I put a WD Blue 4TB in my PC a while back, it makes a decently nice noise on startup, for a new hard drive, although I wish it was a bit louder.

some sounds like jet engine startup's. really beautiful and nostalgic anyhow

That 6gb caviar drive has an almost identical seektest to the WD1600JS. It's so similar

“Lo-fi sounds to seek to”

The first regular drive had a meow at the end

Interesting hobby buddy.😁

4:45 Sounds like a go-kart

14:38 - Let's call the controllerboard "FISH'N M16"

1:37 More bass than any Trap music... Did not expect that but also Im not disappointed

4:47 it stats like a racing cars or F1

Wooow. This amazing Video. Very wonderful Old HDD sounds my Childhood😍. I love spinning up and heads detected sounds.😍👌👍👍❤❤Please more more more video.

The foking noise of the quantum fireball keep me company for 10y

The drive at 0:53 is a Seagate Barracuda ATA IV.

Interesting, I've got some of the 2013 era HGSTs too and I'd always waited 10 seconds after shutdown to pull them out of the dock. Now I know it's more like 15 seconds for them to spin down fully

Recording these hdd's while in use for asmr is your responsibility towards humanity😊

15:13 hard drive go æEeEeEe.

4:46 This would be the hard drives that they were possibly using in the computers within the Wonders Of Life pavilion in EPCOT! :)

11:22 4:46 my Favorites Hard Disk

I like these HDDs

such a memories from the past 😍

Worst thing is Thai have had most of these drives at some point. I still have the early stepper 3.5 Seagate. Didn’t have the 5.25 Miniscribe.

19:11 Seagate U4

Hi. nice collection. I have a question. what can cause bad sectors?

16:13 One of my relative's old computer's hard disk sounded like this.

4:00 this hdd was manufactured on 24th of May 1993

1:28 He is thinking about something

11:20 By far the weirdest drive you've got. XD

4:47 sounds like honda civic

Love it

9:20 Yes, failing heads.

This is music to me!

Hey, this is awesome

that Seagate's ST-157 series was i think the last seagate's with stepper motor ;)

OMG I still have the Quantum Fireball 1GB 😂 has lots of bad sectors but still working and I could install Windows 95 again! 🤣

1:37 : It has some Bass Sound. I feel like listening Diesel Engine sound 😂

2:13 my dad had 2 of those running

Oh yeah, the immortal Maxtor 7440AV :) Unfortunately most of the Maxtor that followed were of opostive quality :p Special mention to the bigfoot, with derouting no classic seek sequence.... And oh, luck boy, you've a CHAMP hdd :)

Fantastique merci !!!

Toujours ton légendaire Seagate en début de vidéo ^^

❤❤❤

I've heard that most Western Digital caviar hard drives from 1997 and 1998 are quite unreliable, as Western Digital was having some financial issues and they thought of making the hard drives for cheaper. So the Western Digital 22500 you have is known to slow like this, and it might die in a while. But except for that, there are barely any reliability issues for most Western Digital hard drives pre 1997 and post 1998, if they are taken care of properly.

These reports have a lot of detail to them...

Nostalgic!!!!!!

Вся жизнь перед глазами прошла...

15:45 i have almost the same hard drive but with 26A at end instead 22A

3:49 a floppy disk sound on background

Got any 10K / 15K RPM drives?

17:28 i have that same WD500AAKX 500gb still in my pc with wd500 ssd. i have lot of those same older and new hdds

Also really like the sounds of the Samsung SHA-3062A. (would it be possible to make a extended spindle motor sound video of that drive?)

15:13 i have that exact same hard drive

Can't imagine the massive waste of money that went into all these.

too bad SSDs are taking over...

Have you tried to do the backups of the drivers?

1:06

Never seen a Champ hard drive before. Did they only make them in parts of Europe?

How did you make that transparent enclosure for the opened drives? Maybe some cut pieces of plastic taped together?

how do i open up the round seagate drive

cool

No velociraptor?

It pisses me off that a hard drive from 2005 has more space than I do, fuck HP and their eMMC cost cutting.

Gw punya 80 MB hdd 😂 Itu rasanya kayak 8 TB saat ini 😂

0:21 what is, that black thing on the plate? wtf?

What are drive sectors?

why so many? | yt recommend

1 bytes 2 bytes 4 bytes 8 bytes 16 bytes 32.bytes 64 bytes 128 bytes 256 bytes 512 bytes 1KB 2KB 4KB 8KB 16KB 32KB 64KB 128KB 256KB 512KB 1MB 2MB 4MB 8MB 16MB 32MB 64MB 128MB 256MB 512MB 1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB 128GB 256GB 512GB 1TB 2TB 4TB 8TB 16TB 32TB 64TB

5:15 is that miniscribe hard drive gay💀☠

Too many bad sectors

Hi. nice collection. I have a question. what can cause bad sectors?
