I have two old hard drives I have in a vertical external mount on my desk for mass storage. The one is a WD Caviar Black 750GB from 2010 and the other is a Caviar Red 3tb from 2013. I love how they sound
I "might" have ordered a lot of 4 of these before the video was even halfway done... it sounds great in the video, hopefully they sound as good in person.
Hahahahah glad to hear that! These are great drives, ive has the deskstar version of this since 2018 or so and it sounds pretty much identical, though this ultrastar may be somewhat louder still. (The Deskstar loves in a iMac G5 quite happily, if not running a bit hot likein this video) And yeah, they sound just as great in person as in the video.
Very cool man! Sounds great. 63k hours is a nice run, hopefully it'll go for quite a bit longer. 5 platters is always sweet regardless of the drive! I'll bet it runs nice and hot though?
Yeah definitely runs pretty hot in this machine that has very limited airflow, usually runs at about 50-60c. Might go and get some more for a raid array or something lol.
I miss Windows XP 😭 and i also miss this great sound of the hard drive i remember being a kid and my cousin showing me how to defrag the computer and i was so interested in it. I love tech
That is quite loud. But then again its a enterprise drive. At first i was gonna say it sounds like the motor has issues but that's a seek noise i think?
