How fast is a hard drive actuator arm? The Slow Mo Guys know.

.

If you have ever wondered what goes on under the covers of a hard drive (and we know you have)…well wonder no more because the Slow Mo Guys were able to catch it on video…slow motion video.

The video is short and sweet, funny and shocking like what happens when you pour a gallon of water on a drive…

Check it out.

Just remember: don’t try this at home with a functioning drive that you still use, or one under warranty. Removing the top cover of the drive allows for dust particles, moisture, and other things to get inside the drive that will cause damage either immediately or over time. There’s my disclaimer…otherwise…if it’s some old drive that you don’t need anymore, have at it. The slow mo guys sure did.
