A Western Digital 3.5" Hard Disk Drive - with the lid off!

I've often been asked what the inside of a Hard Disk Drive looks like.

It's a bit like a record player! No groves though - the media is magnetic.

Here is a 30 second spin up of an old Western Digital WD2500AAJS 250GB SATA 3.5"drive - with the lid off.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!

This was done just before the drive was destroyed & recycled.
