I use the platters like this as my primary long term storage solution. It just saves so much space without the large enclosures. /s
Ah yes. The famous write-only backup solution :D
You joke but early 90s we had exactly this with magneto optical drives
This is cool, but honestly kind of a deranged question to ask.
Does anybody else harvest the teeth of their victims and put them on a keychain?
Fair, my home office is a monument to too much free time, a hoarding habit for ewaste, and a wife who works weekends and overnights.
Techno-shamanism! I made a dream-catcher made from some plates.
I made a wind chime once that I really loved. Had to dirty the plates because they could catch the sun well enough to vaporize your retinas
I heard they keep data corruption away.
I made a DRAM catcher once.
Thought it was just me. Used to have at least twice this many in my old office:
Wow it looks like a light sweeper
No but now I know what to do with my old hard drive that failed :)
No but I wish I had been. 😑

That’s amazing. Jaw dropping.
I thought I was cool for making a clock one time.
That’s a funny looking Stanley cup.
I used to. Magnets on old hard drives were better. Any drive I’ve taken apart over the last ten years or so are smaller and more brittle. Not as worth taking apart.
I thought you made a custom thermos bottle at first
Same.
No, because I am worried the NSA may try to collate data from them. In fact, I zero-wipe, drill bit the drives in the platters and the PCB, and drop them off at e-waste for recycling.
I use them as coffee mats…
I do that with save icons!
