Bernd, of all the ones I've stripped the disks are coated glass. :scratch: I could build a tessla, have everything I need or could make it :lol: Sadly it's a Toshiba drive, 3yrs warranty IF purchased in the US. If part of another product no warranty is given. I've no idea how old this drive is, but at least 18mths. it's a 250Gb Sata 2.5" so I doubt very old. I'll have the magnets from it and destry the platters. |

Darren, the couple I`ve stripped both have a neat set of bearings in them! |

--- Quote ---Darren... I know this sounds odd... but stick the drives in a ziplock bag in the freezer over night. try again the next day. --- End quote --- When I lived in the tropics my aunt used to put floppy discs in ziplock bags in the fridge. Lived at her place for a while. Never saw one fail. Up there lots of stuff was put in the fridge: adhesives, womens cosmetics... darn it I need room for the beer. |
