those were 2 ideas? or am i missing one, sandpaper - rubber
magnets

But the rubber shock-absorbers are not a use of an old HDD, or am I missing something?
LOL
NEVER do that last hack. IT ruines your HDD even more. Unless it's a solid state, ( which doesn't need rubber XD ) It is still a device that needs to read info while spinning very fast. By moving it even more there will be also more corruption written on the HDD. Eventually it will even loosen every part up, so it will die on you. So DO NOT DO IT.
That's nonsense. I don't recommend to hang the harddrive in this way (the flat rubber band, moreover without any washers under the screw heads can deteriorate over time or due to vibrations and the harddrive can fall down, which would be a serious problem), but a flexible suspension won't do any harm to the drives. I've a home server with two drives held by bungee cords (but in a much much more robust way than shown in the video) running 24/7 for many years without any problem. There's one important thing as somebody mentioned in the comments, and that's cooling - I installed a fan in front of the harddrives to blow cool air from outside of the case directly at the drives.
sumixSTYXX You have a point, but i would strongly advice not to use any RPM hard drives in a way that can make it wiggle during use. My advice would be that the rubber straps aren't that bad, but turn it tight between the HDD and it's case mount. It will mute the vibrations with it but it will remain fixed.
About why it's killing the HDD when moving, is that i have really bad experience with it, furthermore this warning is all over the internet and in all HDD manuals.
But to make it general, just buy an SSD. Saves a lot of problems. Also faster.
I agree that the HDD shouldn't be just wiggling around when the case moves even a tiny bit, yes, it should be fixed pretty tightly, but also a bit flexibly to cancel the vibrations and to not transfer them to the case which could then amplify them and cause more noise. I'm not so sure about the SSDs, I use one as a system drive, but have been reluctant so far to use it as data storage since I don't trust it as much as an HDD, but time will tell and maybe I'll change my opinion in the future.
its a shock absorber you silly. the hdd is not functioning anymore its just there to absorb all vibrations.
he mentioned that you can use the disk drive too of you dont use them anymore. he just used an old one for an example.
sumixSTYXX SSD is more reliable than a HDD O.o
Something I done to my computer which I regret a little bit now - I was using a peltier Thermo Electric Cooling, to cool the CPU for overclocking. I managed to get the CPU to -10c and all was going well. I noticed the temp start to creep up from -10 and eventually reached 1c so I knew something was wrong and decided to take a look inside. The temp increase was due to a partial blockage in the water cooling system but not only that, the 30AMP connectors I had used for the Thermo Electric Cooling plate had got so hot that the positive and negative terminals had melted and were seconds away from the metal contacts touching each other. I decided to remove it all and return to plain water cooling to be safe. I still have the components for a rainy day :)
Use the spinning action of the platter for a sanding wheel!?! Great idea!
sure guys do the last one if you want your drive to fail and destroy itselfe, only way to fix this are rubber connectors that are made for this
If you leave the magnets on the metal plates, you will find that they are magnetic on the magnet side but not on the steel side. I have glued these to the back of my tablets. Good for sticking the tablet to the fridge et cetera while I'm cooking.
Помню смотрел тебя когда-то с того времени много чего изменилось 😅
I was young and foolish. Used a paint brush to clean my motherboard. The static fried by motherboard which needed to be replaced along with the processor and ram because the new motherboard was not compatible with the old processor and ram. Very expensive lesson learnt.
My Story:
I just built a brand new PC totallly decked out (2009 decked out) . I have it laying on it side with the side cover removed. Power it up for the first time just to make sure it works and all before I finalize cable routing and whatnot (including putting the covers on). So it boots up, I check BIOS and stuff to make sure all the RAM/CPU speeds are correct, basic first boot shenanigans. Everything looks good so I save the BIOS settings and reach towards the back of the case to turn off the main power at the PSU. I had a dime in my hand for whatever reason and as I open my hand to flip the switch, the dime falls out of my hand and lands on the exposed and powered up motherboard. I hear a click, the screen goes blank and the PC shuts off. First Im thinking "ok maybe it went into some sort of protect mode, a reset and it will be fine". Push the power button - nothing happens. Unplug the PSU, wait a second, plug it back in, and push the power button - nothing happens. For the next hour or so I try in vain to get it to boot - swap PSUs/swap RAM/check and recheck all connections (even though in the back of my head I know that stupid fucking dime shorted out the board and its dead. I finally admit defeat and cry myself to sleep..
Long story short Im an idiot that dropped a dime into my BRAND NEW PC and fucking killed it. The most amazing part is that it didnt just kill the MB, it killed the MB, CPU, AND THE FUCKING RAM! I have no idea how the hell it happened. This was the very first (and last) PC I ruined because of my own stupidity.
P.s. If theres typos, grammar/punctuation errors I dont care, It 420 am and I really dont feel like proofreading this whole thing..
jerseyforlife wow. RIp
I feel you bro.!
you dropped the dime.
Your dime may have caused connection from 5V to 1,8V supply, which damages CPU, RAM and ROM(Basics).
I use old hard drives as music backup storage
what i regret doing to my computer is accidentally sticking my foot in the cooling fan.... i couldnt play on it for about 2 weeks
i regret using a vacuum cleaner inside my tower case to remove dust from my motherboard during a spring cleaning spree, also regret the time i replaced a laptop HDD and decided to test it before closing the case which lead to the motherboard shorting itself out when i inserted the battery which was fully charged :( live and learn, 21 years of computering and only two mistakes is good in my books.
I always save the magnets I use them for all kinds of things
Amice, lucrează la pronunție şi renunță la vocea aia de telemarketing! Mult succes!
P.S. N-ai luat în calcul inerția!
very good
but if you make that hard disk is coming very hot and you will lose it soon
Can this be made from an old CD player too
when i was young i didnt understand how computers work soo i kicked my old komputer a lot i punched it buut it kept working until the mother board burnd out and then we bouth a new computer wich 2 years later i hit it so hard i dissaseble the hard drive while it was inside the case i got aa new one and 1 year later (now) its working great :D
thats wrong the hard drive needs to be mounted on something rigid
I once make an anti virus killer for my hobby (penetration testing/ethical hacking) and it killed vital boot up drivers.
I started raging while gaming. Disconnected my pc, and slammed it on the ground. I rarely get angry. But when i do... This happens...
Will the magnets work on manual transmission oil
Hey how did u power the HDD motor ???
Can u please help with that??
how can I run hard drive without power supply
the last hack sucks.. you just have to put rubber between the screw and the case, now manufacturers make them and include them in their pc so that's it.
Convert it to an external hard drive
Kevin Hinojosa but what if it's broken tho? I think that's more of the idea here.
nice video
H-Whats's H-izzz H-whith-sss H-accsssent? H-Are H-you H-From H-Hollandsss???
Fabulous
Once i use a defrag tool and damaged my hdd and needed a new one
I have a question,where are you from?
That rubber mounted harddrive is more insecure than my depressed @ss...
So you are telling us that one of your ideas for an OLD hardrive is to plug it into your pc? wow okay.
I unplugged my keyboard and trackpad from my laptop one time. RIP
Wtf was the thumbnail that thing wasn't even in the video!
It's known as clickbait.
I know! It was nowhere in sight in the -Western Digital Advert- ahem sorry this video!
i1.ytimg.com/vi/n7CA2orjnXY/maxresdefault.jpg so much click bait
***** oh yeah, it's one of those over-unity drives - coated with GP Gr -eencell- , -Pretty- Batteries, with -Western Digital- inside!
Trump Click bait! Thumbnail shows 2x9v batteries shorted out in an old hard drive case. What is the point?
or just use the HDD as a secondary Harddrive..
baybe it doesn't work, who knows
I have an HDD which is so old that it can't be plugged in to new PCs so...
Maybe is an old 80GB HDD, which is now obsolete.
probably
Gameniti v
Also, if you don't happen to have a rubber band handy, just get 30ft of SATA cable and let your HDD dangle on it through your office window. Certain adverse side effects are likely, but I guarantee that the noise will be greatly reduced.
Oh man, Gotta try that. Still have enough old sata cables laying around, Have a big windows Close to my pc, So it will be perfect, Plus when it rains i have a water cooled HDD. What better do you want.
Er what about the birds, they will defacate droppings on the drive which will cause overheating 🤢
@@addydiesel6627 Therefore, it is necessary to immerse the HDD in a bucket of water and let it hang from the window by the SATA cable. It is necessary to change the water occasionally. In order for the cooling to be effective, it is a good idea to drill several holes in the HDD.
What I regret is actually coming to this video. Worst advice ever about suspending the HD from rubber straps.
Yeah that would actually increase the vibrations..
so i had bought this usb killer thingy and my sister plugged it in to her computer, thinking she would find stuff i did'nt want her to see.. hah revenge
Lol
Click bait thumbnail as always.
nope, it say exactly what he is going to do, it don't even say,
"INCREDIBLE AMAZING MAGICS WITH HDD (GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL)"
Misleading thumbnail, it has nothing to do with the title.
Why? He did show what could you do with an hard disk, like transforming it in other stuff
ricardo benvenuto It's deceiving. When I saw it I thought hmm either this is click bait or he's doing something interesting with the HDD and those batteries. Turns out he wasn't and had a pretty normal idea.
Ah, Ok, now I understand
FYI- I use the earth magnets on my motorcycle. I place them on the frame on the bottom of the bike. This gives the motorcycle more "mass" when I stop at a stop light. The magnetic sensor in the road will now detect the bike as a car and change the light.
Damn yoru profile photo is so actracting
Michael 732 x
LOL
Does this really help? I get stuck at red lights a lot with my motorcycle and it buggs me a great deal. But I imagine, that the magnets are too weak. I ride an Motorcycle with a lot of space between the engine and the road
Michael 732 is talking bullshit.
Great ideas but I wouldn't use the inner tube mount. I would use the inner tubes as a buffer on the sides of the drive and then mount the drive as usual with the screws. The rubber will still absorb vibrations but you won't have to worry about the drive swinging freely which can be bad if the computer is knocked over while it's running.
HDD might heat too much without direct connection to metal case, and then you can kiss goodbye to your new hard drive.
if you found screwable magnets, fix them on a wall in your kitchen or your lab to put screwdrivers, cutters or knives on it, if you get enough of plates, you can fix them on a plank of wiid plastic or watever to make a nice decirative mirror
When I was small I connected a IDE HDD to my Dads Pc - when it was on
Unfortunately the Motherboard got fried to death xD
You forgot to mention that HDD motors are not simple 2 terminal motors which you can just stick to power source.
If HDD electronic is dead/missing/whatever, there has to be driver circuit to spin the HDD motor with precisely timed impulses to each of it's pins. Arduino + few transistors and resistors are suitable. Also, HDD motor speed can be finely adjusted with right circuit.
If the motor's electronics are not damaged (the motor rotates), the handyman will be surprised by the fact that the motor stops after 20-40 seconds. It is necessary to turn the power off and on again to get the motor to start turning again.
Didn't know what exactly caused the noise and just punched in the middle of PC case top side. As a result - malfunctioning HDD and aching hand XD. Later I found out that it was PSU fan that made such noise.
LOL. I was just wondering if I could make a sanding/sharpening station out of my dying hard drive so I was looking for ideas for what I could do with it and what do you know. I was not the only one :D
If a hard drive disk is spinning at 7200RPM and it has a diameter of ~9cm, the outer edge is moving at little over 30 meters per second! Not too shabby at all for light work ;)
But it's not a portable HDD as the one in this video so how should I power it? hmmm....
Creating rubber shocks like that makes it worse as the drive will now spin and wobble consistently decreasing it's maximum lifetime. The sand paper idea was pretty good though, I have hundreds of dead drives and I'm sure I'll use that idea at some point.
I was a computer repair tech in undergrad, so naturally I would experiment on my own home computer. To make that easier I lightly rested the case on the computer so I could remove it quickly. One day I decided my loft was dirty so I plugged in the vacuum cleaner, not realizing someone had not turned the on switch to off and had just unplugged the vacuum to turn it off. As soon as I plugged it in I heard a surging sound, very fast, then some pops. I realized immediately that my computer had taken a surge. I pulled the case off to see small flares of flame coming off several of the chips. All I could think was, "That sucked."
WTF did I just watch. Says 3 ideas...shows one idea and the thumbnail isn’t in the video. Plus the second idea isn’t even related to old hard drives. Get your shit together!
Great video. But here my HD works for just a few seconds, then I must unplug it and plug again. I did something wrong? How can I make it work all the time that it is connected on power source?
Tnx!
I like how you talk, seems like you're really ready and energetic for a video
HDD has to be static. If not, it will be broken...
I once pulled my graphics cats put without unclipping it and tore the whole connector out.
+Austin Lock What? You pulled your "graphics cats put"?
It explains a lot in that phrase really doesn't it? XD
Predictive text, or just plain old bad typing?
+Clive Bindley
You never heard of graphics cats?
+Austin Lock
A good joke never dies.
Long live the graphics cats!
Screwing your Harddrives in makes them give their Heat to the inner Case, so they can cool down faster. Don't use rubber bands
you are a great youtuber but pls make thumbnails from your vudeo not a random pic
Wow, that knife sharpener looks great. Very nice! Esti roman, nu?? :) :D
Ps. Am vazut clipul cu capacele de sticle(dorna) si am realizat :)) N am vazut nimic in romana si am zis ca poate si pe straini ii cheama Ursu. :)
e din chisinau. :)
+DMXtreme What the fuck are you idiots babbling about? Lol
the hdd anti-vibration hack ist only to use with activ cooling system!!! or you need an 25°C HDD
Don't make stupid videos of stupid sheit. Upload only the best ideas. Quality over quantity.
eh 3 ideas what can be made from an OLD HDD lol I only seen 1 idea the sanding disc lmfao
I doubt you will be using a old hdd so why even bother doing the rubber thing and theres a reason the hdd is securely attached to the case also where the fuck is the third idea
Simply genial! In these videos, I have the proof that I'm not wrong to make a motor with an HDD! But, I want to know before beginning is which precaution I must take about manipulation of the HDD's PCB (under the disk)? That really EDS sensitive? The HDD motor seems to be powerful enough to "drive" something as a fan! Here, I notice that the disc acts as a flywheel!
BAD VIDEO NOT OK FOR HDD IF NOT FIX ON CASE .
Yea cause I totally might need my old 80mb harddrive one day, thats right 80mb, not gb. Now I have a neat magnetic key board to hang my keys and I aint even mad.
I've dismantled dozens of HD's to salvage the magnets...how do you separate the magnets from the mounting bracket? What kind of bonding glue to they use and how to dissolve it....I've tried to pry the magnets off, no success.
Any help ?
old HDDs should be stable .... -_-
So the "3 ideas" are... Two magnets and a disk sharpener?
Kevin Wright seems so
Rubber suspension for HD
only thing i regret is deleting my 30GB Gay furry porn forlder
If you are using Windows, dedicate the old drive as Swap Space (managed by Windows) and set the new drive to have no (0) Swap Space. I have used this option since Windows 3.1.1. Dedicated Swap Space is faster and more reliable than Dynamic Swap Space (default). Cheaper than a new computer for a noticable speed increase. Otherwise, install Linux or buy a Mac.
When I was 9 years old, I put a stick of ram into a computer backwards while it was running and completely fried the ram and motherboard. Looking back, it was a good death for a junky old pc.
This is still a great video. I got like 10 dead hard drives that Ive been wanting to do something with that is very similar to what you're doing. Although I'm not a fan of the last one as the hard is very balance sensitive and it will affect it in the long run. Thus the ten dead hard drives lol
I scratched my mobo whilst taking off a panel :c Worked like a charm afterwards c:
how the hdd was able to keep running forever when connected to psu i have old hdd it run onnly 2-3 minuts and then stops and the hdd motor even doesn't start without plugging in data cable
cant wait to sharpen my screw driver and make it not function anymore
Owch, and i forget about the hdd will stop spinning in about 2 minutes after power on. Of cause if you didn`t power it with external power source and use it own controller board.
Sometimes your voice is not understandable.
I use an emty beer bottle to keep my graphics card from bending. So far it does exactly what i need it to do =) and it looks helarious too, holding up a 1070 GTX Amp Extreme xD!
I tried 10 different HDDs now (from a junkjard) and none of them kest spinning without the read/write head arm ;) It alwawys had to be connected to the rest of the drive.
So either ur showing us THE "LUCKY" ONE type in the world that does NOT need the arm or this is just a fake,
cool ideas. i once unpluged a hdd while it was on. i slipped saw sparks and my shiny new 10gb drive was fried. sounds tiny compared to drives today.
Here i found how to supply HDD drive from another source than PC - (it's Polish language, use translator or just look at pic's :P )

The HDD mini sharpener is genius. I never thought of that.
하드디스크를 동영상처럼 고무를 이용해서 고정 시킨다면 하드디스크에 안좋은 영향을끼칩니다. 하드디스크는 플레터와 헤더 사이가 매우 미세하게 떨어져 있기 때문에 조금의 외부 충격에라도 손상 돌 수 있습니다. 동영상과 같이 하면 소리는 줄일 수 있겠으나 플레터 회전으로 인한 진동으로 인해 고장이 날 확률이 높습니다. 괜히 하드디스크를 단단히 고정시키는게 아닙니다.
절대 따라하지 마십시오.
I literally wiped all my data of my good HDD by playing with a dead HDD near it... Be careful with those magnets.
Some hard drives will continue spinning when the heads are removed, some will shut down when they detect the drive head error. It will not always work.
A lot of you guys clearly missed the point of that last hack entirely. It's not a working drive that's suspended by the rubber straps, it's the old dud one, hence why there are no power or data cables plugged into it. The point of the hack is to (in theory at least) absorb micro vibrations from the case so that they don't propagate through to the working drive(s).
what can be made from an old HDD?
a power sander....thats it
the magnets werent made from the HDD...
and the rubber thing isnt made out of an old HDD
good idea with the sander though. 1 good idea.
I opened my pc to see why it was not booting. the hdd was disconnected when i was moving. The power supply also fell out onto the rear fan disconnecting it and ruining the screws when i opened it. My Power Supply, rear fan, screws and pc case are now all ruined. Now i am using a Win7 laptop. I miss my XP machine.
People don't play with the hard drive disc, it's extremely sharp and could kill you or cause serious injury.
Soo... I only saw one idea (grinder/sharpener.. Where are the rest?
I love the disk sander idea! thanks a lot!
Just use it for second. For example i have laptop without harddrive because they are expensive. BUT YOU NEED TO RUIN YOURS 😡
ehmm. I want to have the thumbnail version. I'm not gonna take out my pcu just to power the henry. I want a way that I can plug it onto a 9v adapter or something like that. I know it's a stepping motor so it's pretty hard.
How disk is still running after the removal of head mechanism?🤔🤔
After removing the head, disk of my hard drive is not running. 🙁🙁
What can I do to run the disk?
If you've left certain kinds of porn on your hard drive you don't need to use sandpaper for the mini grinder.
Something I did with an old computer that I regret; I bought a cheap $120 Hp laptop from Walmart. I regret buying it. I should have shelled out a couple hundred more and bought something better.
Ha ha, i do this 30 years ago !!! It was an big old HDD. There was a poti in the power source so i can speed it up a little...until an elko explode. But in this time there was no YoutTube or mobile phone to make some vids :-(
1.000 μπράβο στο φίλο που κάνει πρωτότυπες πατεντες για να μάθουμε και εμείς κάτι και εγώ κάνω πετεντες διάφορες και οι μισές που κάνω είναι από τον φίλο μας και αυτό είναι το καλύτερο .
El disco duro con las tiras de goma no dura ni dos telediarios, estando tan suelto, las vibraciones del propio disco girando a 7.200rpm acabará provocando que los cabezales golpeen fisicamente el disco y dañen la información👎👎
1) Clickbait
2) You show 2 incredibly stupid ideas, not 3.
3) THumb down and reporting the video.
About par for TH-cam wisdom, over half of them are useless and a few of them are downright bad advice.
