Some time ago, I picked up a few hard drives from my local scrapyard. Unfortunately, the chances of picking up a working hard drive is less than 20%. Needless to say, I stopped looking for them. Only in rare cases, when a drive is still screwed to a drive cage, will I consider taking it. Before I will return the drives to the scrapyard, I want to share the sounds those drive make when we power it on. We will also look inside some of them.
