Get on my level, I took a drill to my old hard drive (failed), then me and my uncle took a sledgehammer to it.
1v1

Pretty neat with the power supply though

i have a van sitting in my driveway rotting away just because it has sentimental value
watching things like this hurts me deeply

NO. it's not just a machine. it's much more than that.

It was already irreparably destroyed at 1:20. Opening a hard drive and exposing the platter to air anywhere else besides a clean room will permanently destroy it.

Mfw I sympathized with a computer part more than I do to people.

I still have my old hard drive from my medion computer that looked like this

I take good care of it, and it still works ;3

I still have an IDE groaning for its life and a SCSI which isn't too loud.

I opened one of my failed SATAs, filled the platters with glue and turned it on. I also turned it into some sort of saw. Cut a few pens with it.

I still have an old hard drive from my desktop that is about 10 years old
