This was the (impressively common) failure mode of many stepper motor based hard drives, can't say i've seen many ST225s fail this way though as they seem to be the most reliable steppers you can still get. We had this guy who went through MFM hard drives in the early 2000s, a amazing amount of the older style drives were bad and sent to the scrapyard, large boxes of these things would come in and half of them would be dead. Of course this was in the era where no one wanted these older drives (including old voice coil drives), they were being sold for less than 20$ a drive. I always thought that maybe those were just a bunch of bad batches, but I keep seeing these things fail in the same ways I remember, and then I tried to get my hands on 3 of these older style drives. All 3 of them are dead, 300$ out of pocket. So I can't say they are too much better today, but I assume after all of these years we are left with the best drives to roll of the production line and will keep working for a while. Sad to see one of these fail, they are extremely expensive nowadays!
@@cleaningmyroom1000 the platter, circle part should be a uniform brownish color. Where you see shiney metal is where the head scraped off the magnetic layer. Very bad noise indeed
Quite a rare sight to see an ST-225 fail so catastrophically!
Hard disk?
Sir, you're mistaken. this is a platter lathe. :)
Good idea! I'll have to use that one myself.
Underrated comment.
I see 4 files on that drive.
Я думаю, по гарантии это вернуть уже не получится.

I think the drive has enough
That is by far, one of the worst head crashes I've ever seen
He's dead Jim
Uhhhhh… I don’t think it should be making that noise?…
Also I have no idea what I’m looking at here. All I know is that it’s a hard drive.

@@cleaningmyroom1000 Head crash, somebody either dropped it or it was very badly mishandled.
