Love these drives, especially from the side view, they are quite tall! Very nice to hear one with good bearings and what the seek sounds like. Glad you have this one : )
Lovely drive. 6,400 RPM does certainly seem a bit bizarre in retrospect. Great to see it in such great shape, being such a rarity. It's a shame how far HP have fallen.
Oh I completely agree how far HP has fallen, especially since they used to make aerospace grade test equipment (Think oscilloscopes and bench power supplies and the like, they made pretty much everything.)
@@thegeforce6625 100% agreed! It's still sometimes a shock to find one of their old spectrum analysers still in use, but their old lab equipment could survive nuclear warfare I swear. Not to mention their printers! I still use a LaserJet 8150 on the regular! Not the most, uh, power efficient thing, but it's way too reliable to replace. Now most things they produce just feel like ewaste from the get-go. How sad...

I never knew HP actually made the drives for that short time. I seen some Seagate scsi drives that had the HP name on them
They very commonly put their name on drives. They still do today, despite the manufacturer.

Great drive with a lovely sound. Its PCB reminds me of high-end Seagates of the era, with the edge connector.
i never knew of a full HP drive. They usually rebadged other drives.
And that was much easier to do than building their own.
Who makes that drive originally? I know HP had some Seagate made drives before that HP put their name on.
This is all HP like I said
That’s a very weird RPM.
All HP there...
I have a Compaq branded version of this drive. It’s DOA so I use it as a weight for a tripod😂
Why did my comment get deleted?
Spreading speculation and false info. Don't do it again.
