How fast can a HDD spin

Hard drive overvoltage, with RPM measurement.

I just ordered a 15k RPM server HDD to test, and I'll make sure the tape won't hit the arm. Subscribe to see how fast it spins! Thank you for all your comments!

With that sound, I was waiting for it to fly through my screen!

"why buy a ssd when i can overclock my hdd" famous last words

Dude just watched a entire season of his favorite show in 10 seconds.

"this little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 gigabytes"

Im impressed that that motor didnt give up earlier. A motor designed for 10w consumption having to deal with 300w uncooled is impressive

That sounds normal at first but turns into a storm warning towards the end. I love it.

The fact a hard drive got to 34000 RPM and the motor gave out before the platters disintegrated is a feat of engineering on the parts of these drives.

Bros turning hdd into gpu in terms of power consumption 😅

[cassiuscartland]

Bro turned is HDD into a super car plane combo

[ChiefMarmadan]

Bro i was squinting at the screen the whole time. I swear that shit was going to explode. 300W and 30k rpm is mental!

[bhoot]

the tolerance is damn high. Really impressed

All the files and data run to the edge

who needs a SSD when you have a turbo charged HDD😈☠️💀

[ZyronicKronissy]

At peak, it made 568 revolutions. Every second.

RIP humble motor. You worked to save our memories in eternity, and died to entertain us in a moment before we swipe this video.

Going back in time the material used for HDD disks was developed. It went from aluminium and eventually they tried making them of glass. The development was a bit tough as after a few disks blew up it became hard to get the scientists into the same room as where they were testing the glass disks.

But eventually that was the material they started using. A glass disc covered with a thin metal could store a lot more information than a metal disk of the same size.

Thinking back I wonder if it was IBM who did the first experiments to make glass disks. It's so long ago I can't really remember the details. It could also have been Maxtor, I think they developed the "magic dust" used to cover the glass disks. And this was the reason they were bought by another manufacturer. Some times I despair about my brain as I can't remember if it was Conner or Seagate that bought Maxtor...

I guess I could google all of this but I can't be bothered. So I leave that to anyone who wonder just what I'm yapping about.

I'm honestly impressed the tape didn't throw off the balance to the point it self destructed or left the table

That HDD will read data faster than NVMe drives ☠️

[julesviolin]

That sound was incredible and in stereo too 😎
