What if You SHAKE a Hard Drive WHILE It's Running?

⚠️ CAN YOU SHAKE A HARD DRIVE TO DEATH? LET'S FIND OUT ⚠️

In this video we do a real life test on what happens when you shake a hard drive. But not only do we shake it by hand, we use an actual machine to shake it extremely hard. Surely this will ruin the hard drive right? Next, we try something even more ridiculous. And also compare it to what happens with an SSD.

Wow that's one tutorial you won't see every day

This is actually very interesting to see the security measures that are put into these hard drives.

[Just-View]

HDD: “Noooo, you can’t just shake me and expect me to work properly.”
SDD: “haha vibration go

[samk.]

Glad to see quality entertainment is back on youtube

5:06 SSD: "Yea LOL
Does not care at all xD

"We're gonna actually use an specialized piece of equipment"

Ideally would be to run health tests for things like bad sectors on the HDD before and after shaking it. Most of those shake wound not instantly destroy a hard drive, but could cause damage whose symptoms would only start to show months later.

I'm surprised! While I expected the shaking machine to destroy the drive, I didn't expect the hand shaking to have any effect whatsoever.

SSD: Poor hard drives never knew what would hit him

[bahezh.]

Any tiny dust on the platter will destroy the hard drive that's why yours failed.

[patemathic]

This kinda reminds me of when I fed twice the normal voltage to a drill motor and the gearbox blew up...

[angelzplayz]

So this is how Apple does shake to undo....
🤔

[RustySimRacing]

Thank you for this great tutorial on how to open a hard drive.

[ensarsacirovic]

I love how you can immediately feel so much excitement in the beginning when it comes to breaking something

[LuizFernando-bnzc]

I almost got a heart attack while watching this video.

Well I know some computers have the ability to turn off the head parking feature when vibration is detected, so you could have possibly looked into that to turn that off and kill the drive.

Also, that last screw under the sticker of the HDD, holds the read/write heads in place so when it was removed, the heads got loose, but I think you figured that out

Me with an SSD: “I don’t have such weaknesses”

2:28 When ThioJoe realized that hes been shook (Look at the video playing on his Laptop)

[burakarif]

I have ssd and its really running low on oil





I should switch to a hard drive so i don't have to replace my oil as much
