Wow, that is quite interesting, Just looking at that head moving around, you don’t have to wonder why there are that many hard drive failure in today’s hard drives :)

While being on the subject, I wrote something that may interest some of you:

That is amazing.. no kidding there should be more hard drive failures. I wonder what RPM that drive was. And it would be interesting to see the difference between 7.2k , 10k and 15k RPM drives.

Haven’t watched the video yet but hard drives fail enough as it is. Being that they’re usually the first thing to go on a PC, I’m not amazed that there aren’t more.

Seen the vid before, I can’t remember where but it still fascinates me every time.
