Godammit. My plans wasted

The D: looks like a horrified face, which is appropriate considering you basically killed the drive lol

Bonus fact: DON'T OPEN YOUR HARD DRIVE IN GENERAL!
Hard Drives are sealed from dust and debris, and even a tiny piece of dust can cause a hard drive to die. When pros open hard drives for like data recovery and stuff, they do it in a commercial grade clean room (basically a special room with almost no dust).

I mean, the minute you open the drive it will probably die anyway.

To the local library I go

In the old days you could bulk erase a disk (basically degauss it) and then low level format to start over.
Sadly no longer an option with modern disks.

Magnet - I can destroy you!
HDD - I know but you can't destroy him.
SSD enters.

When I was a child, I used to have neodymium cylindrical magnets as toys. I remembered dropping it and it rolled across my laptop. You can guess what happened afterwards... I played dumb and just told my parents the laptop is broken without telling them what actually happened.

"don't try this at home"

Me:ok I won't, I'll just try it in our schools computer

[Askejm]

basically a magnet would only cause damage on modern hard drives if it was strong enough to pull the platter or head. the reason his drive stops working is because he opened it and that destroys it if you want in a cleanroom

[Rose-eche]

Give it a shake. That's how I fixed one of my ticking hard drives xD

[byDamo]

Not a slider its an actuator and spindle it stops the spindle from being able to read/write from clusters/sectors

[potatomaaan]

This dude: *opens HDD*
HDD: dies
This dude: *surprised Pikachu face*

[coltonsnyder]

This scares me because I have a 4tb hard drive in my pc and if I accidentally take a magnet uh oh 😳

[doescolder]

Plot twist ? It wasn't the magnet that destroyed it. But the fact that you took the lid off. HDDs aren't designed to operate with the lid off unless in something called "clean room"
