Makes me feel old having bought/used many of these drive models. Sadly most of my collection have died or needed to be cleared for space, although I have re found a couple of unidentified scsci drives in a 3rd party SCSI>ACSI (Atari ST) enclosure. They are 48MB (Seagate IIRC) and 170MB (either Quantum or WD) and both appear to atleast power up and seek without suspicious noises.
Because seagate took the brand and slapped their logo on it once they were boguht out. Maxtor was known for being unreliable, that is what make seagate drives unreliable today. Pretty cool to think about.
my parents old Compaq laptop w/ celeron 600 and Win ME had a 8gb toshiba GAP in it. It was noisy (bearings, and head parking). I could always hear it park itself and unpark all the time. Think it made the laptop slower doing that.
@@ducksonplays4190 Since April 2019. I received the WD1600AAJS and the ST250DM000 today! They were listed as "Professionally tested" and the Seagate has 88 reallocated sectors, and HD Sentinel says health is at 20%. I am going to install Windows on it today and begin my experiment. I am very disappointed in the seller as it seems like they don't know how to test drives. Better yet the WD1600AAJS although in not the best cosmetic condition, is almost perfect and has 4 years and 80 days on it. The Seagate has only around a year and a half of power on time on it and was manufactured in 2013, and is failing rapidly. Read that again. Again. The WD1600AAJS from 2010, with 4 years and 80 days of power on hours, has no bad sectors or reallocated sectors but HD Sentinel says it found 1 bad sector during its self test. Near perfect as I scanned the drive and it is in excellent internal condition. The ST250DM000 on the other hand, 3 years newer manufactured in 2013, already has 88 reallocated sectors and HD Sentinel reports 20% health. And the drive only has a year and a half of hours on it! Terrible, terrible reliability! Do not buy newer Seagate drives!
All IBM drives of that era (and to some extent today) are noisy but reliable drives. I still have a bunch of deskstar, travelstar and cinemastar from that era all pretty much identical oem drives noisy as hell but still working since new (local PC WORLD used to sell them really cheap as you never knew what actual model you would get just the capacity); Out of around 30+ I bought for myself and others only 1 failed and I still have about 8 working. So no, they aren't shit.
The hard drive at 12:07 is from the MICROSOFT DIRECT Xbox game system and it still is the hard drives that they continue to use in the latest Xbox one x
Some IBM Ultrastars have those lights, Seagate's SCSI drives from the late 90's also have these in-built access lights, There is a plug the early Caviar drives for one. Other than that I do not know if anyone else did this.
I have a raid 10 with 8 (ST15150N I have 2 scsi raid cards and use them as a back up for very important files and documents . They are set up in a nas system
i have a STM 200GB IDE just like yours. However when it seeks and stuff it makes an awful noise, HD sentinel reports its 100% healthy though.I think the head assembly is hitting against the headlock inside.
+Your Mom Your Mom No, for some reason it shows up as 10gB although on the drive it says 20gB. I made sure no jumpers were set to limit the capacity, but I don't know. It's very odd.
doomer37 those have quite a unique design inside as far as the head lock is concerned. almost like kind of a head ramp that holds the single head in place until spin up
the D540 and D740X have a distinct park noise. I can always pick them out, since they sound like a Quantum fireball mostly.
7:03 that motor is giving me a headache

your IBM Ultrastar, is that one with glass media and the head parking ramps? Made around the same time as the Deathstars...
8:19 i like this spinup sound. The Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 has the same sound.

Maxtor was known for being unreliable, that is what make seagate drives unreliable today.

No Quantum Bigfoot? ;)
Nice collection. I hated Maxtor, they failed on so many machines when I worked in the Tech Shop of CompUSA in the before time.
I love the IBM drive at 4:52! The initialization of the drive sounds so good!
You should get one of these drives then. They sound really good...
@@WildDiamond07 I will eventually, got a couple more drives a week ago that were listed as faulty and they have really weird issues.
Ok
@@cdos9186 How long have you been collecting drives?

I remember IBM Travelstar hdds in a few old think pads I had. those drives were noisy with the bearings. only a few gb like 2 or 3gb
Ibm travelstar is a shit

8:39 that is a Seagate re-branded by Maxtor
I mean its a Seagate / Maxtor

They do no use a hard drive from 2003 in the xbox one or one x. Also, this is 3.5" drive and wouldn't even fit, they use 2.5".
Dude.
HOW MANY HARDDRIVES DO YOU HAVE !? 🤩
This is an AMAZING Collection !!
For How long have you been collecting ?
4:00 I had one of those Deskstars. It died.
Yes, those DeathStars tend to do that.
doomer37 It did nothing but click. Then mine started scraping the platters while clicking.
I hope you didn't have any important data on that drive.
doomer37 I got the drive dead. I had nothing on there.
ComputingWorld 180gxp. the drives that stopped using glass platters inside. 120gxp was the last model to use glass
These seagate barracudas have the same noises.
@Lennon Acebal - Yea, I guess you can either call it a Maxtor Diamondmax 21 or a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10.
If that did'nt see a Maxtor name on it I will say that was a Seagate. That's cool.
@@LayJD_ how about calling it a "seator" or "maxgate"?
@@Mike-77-YT dawg, did you even bother seeing how old that comment is
hi.
22:25 Caviar 22000 2tb? :D
That's just one of the many mistakes I made.
No problem, we are human people. we always do mistakes ;)
Not a single Micropolis drive... Phew! ;)
That's too bad, I like them.
your quantum fireball plus as 10.2 reminds me of the Maxtor d740x. except when Maxtor bought quantum I think they used a different spindle motor
23:13 Nice Hard Drive
lmao
nice collection!
+HDDman191_PL Thanks!
22:19 That drive is 2GB, not 2000GB, 1000GB = 1TB.
Typo clearly :P
were quantum and Samsung (Samsung's older drives, around the trigem era) The only ones to have activity lights on the bottom of their drives?
Some IBM Ultrastars have those lights, Seagate's SCSI drives from the late 90's also have these in-built access lights, There is a plug the early Caviar drives for one. Other than that I do not know if anyone else did this.
I have a raid 10 with 8 (ST15150N I have 2 scsi raid cards and use them as a back up for very important files and documents . They are set up in a nas system
I had a few of those drives in a server with win ME on one of them. Interesting drives. Full height but 3.5
video is helpful for looking for a less noisy hhd ide. i have that dtca-23240 its a noisy hhd
Deskstar (IC35L090AVV207-0) [OK] IDE/PATA sound ?
the caviar 11000 have 1055.9 mb not gp it says even on the label and caviar 22000 have 2000.3 mb not gb too
15:36 OH MAN DON'T MESS WITH THE SEASHIELD! lmao.
i have a STM 200GB IDE just like yours. However when it seeks and stuff it makes an awful noise, HD sentinel reports its 100% healthy though.I think the head assembly is hitting against the headlock inside.
Could be. Yea that's really odd. I have a few drives that are in perfect health according to S.M.A.R.T. but they sound terrible operating.
Any update?
does your maxtor fireball 3 have 10gb in bad sectors thats why you put 10gb in () ?
+Your Mom Your Mom No, for some reason it shows up as 10gB although on the drive it says 20gB. I made sure no jumpers were set to limit the capacity, but I don't know. It's very odd.

@@doomer37 You can restore capacity with seatools
Going down this rabbit hole of drives reveals one shocking thing:
*Seagate was doing Maxtor's work.*
You forgot Western Digital.
