    Worlds most Expensive Hard Drive Breakdown Video

    I found this video today, and thought it was pretty interesting. The hard drive he's dissecting is a IBM server hard drive from the late 70's - early 80's and cost over $250,000 new. In it's 9 beautiful platters inside, it contains a whopping 10 megs of data storage. I thought it was interesting, so I thought some of y'all e-waste guys would think it was pretty cool.



    The video is 45 minutes long, so to see the inside skip to around the 8:45 mark.
