Is this how you partition a hard drive?

[-] Killerqu00@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

6GB was left on the knife

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Sooo...

Are you gonna eat that slice of cake?

Yum the corners are my favorite!

[-] Lightning66@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It might not be exactly 250gb.

It could be lesser. And I won't settle for that...

[-] fritter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hard drive capacity marketers have entered the chat

[-] Wage_Slave@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Oddly satisfying. I kinda want a piece for my desk.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ahh fuck, you ruined it. You see how shitty that cut is? You need to use a water jet so you don't get all those jaggies.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Nahh, that chunk is about 1/6 of the HDD.

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Ackshually the corner is centered right on the spindle in the middle of the platters.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Argh, I forgot about the plates

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

NEVER forget about the plates, dude!

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sup guys it's Derek from more plates more dates

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

I'd like a couple more plates please, Derek, but you can skip the dates..

[-] Intralexical@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

…I really wish I had a magnetic microscope.

[-] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Akshually, you would need to cut the disk inside

Also, how old is this hard drive for it to be so big?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 year ago

Those layers ARE the disks.

Also that's a 3.5" hard drive. They're still current. It's the standard form factor for desktop use. Though most home systems nowadays just use SSDs.

Still though these are used for large, slower storage like backups, media, etc. and used in enterprise.

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

That's a standard 3.5 inch harddrive. They still exist and are still sold.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's a 1TB 3.5" HDD. They still make those today.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Water jet cutting exists yo.

Not saying for sure whether that's how it was actually done or not, just saying.

[-] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

No, I mean that the disk inside is the thing holding the storage so if you cut it into 1/4 you woild get 1/4 the storage

They literally cut a quarter of the disk. You can literally see the center spindle where the cuts end.

Also that's a size used for modern hard drives.

You ain't good at this are you?

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's the joke, duh.

Looks like a 5400rpm 1TB WD caviar green. But it's a standard size for desktops. Laptop hard drives are the same size as a SATA SSD. And the m.2 drives are the size of a large gumstick.

But, the WD greens weren't great drives, so nothing of value was lost - I have 6 of them in my house, and about 4 of them are dead or dying.

My dad bought them for a Intel RST RAID array when he built his hackintosh, all the way when the Intel Core i7-860 was new, and snow leopard was the current Mac OS. The array died a tragic, and very preventable death. (He never bothered to replace the first drive that died, and the second drive death completely killed it)
