So you’d basically be back to a DIY-cleanroom — most likely a box, a vacuum cleaner and the best micro filter you can get. ;-)

That’d be a fun experiment that I might like to try…

what if we buy a pack of cellophane suran rap put up some sticks around a table and wrap use and the sticks up until we are sealed within the room.

We then turn on the air purifyer air ionizer (which can be picked up now a days) let it run for a few minutes then attempt to get everything done before we run out of air??? . If you have an old HD sitting around it might be an educational experience… but trusting it with any important data may be a questionable task.

i’m looking for a nonneedle HD I’d like to find a HD that doesn’t break if it gets jostled… like maybe something that has an array overtop the platter then it just reads from anywhere in the array that is no moving parts…

P.S here is the web site that said i read it on

There is one problem with this idea, It HAS been stated already but I feel that it is severly important for people to know this INLCUDING NOOB MODERS AND TECHS.

The processes of creating a hard drive is very important of course, and the most important is the fact that from beggining to end the hardrive and hard drive parts MUST be in a clean inviroment, (10% more so then the cleanest Surgical Operating Room (somewhere around thoughs figures)). When the harddrive is cealed it is Vaccumed Cealed to prevent any particles from getting inside the hard drive, and I am talking about Microscopic particals not dust or hair. Imagin the harddrive like a Vinal record. 60s CD if you wish to call them. Where the needle is on the Vinal it would be called the Head on a HDD, the record on a vinal is the Plater on the HDD. When You listen to music on a vinal you rest the needle in the pits of the vinal, NOT true for HDD, the HDD head moves sideways by a motor that goes back and forth VERY FAST while the Platers are SPINNING (need I say very fast?)while the head of the HDD is reading or writing the head flys on thin air made by the rotating platers, the space beetween the head and the platers is microscopic. The Platers are made of eaither Mettel or Glass (or simular) the platers are coated with a material that all the information will be placed on, and the coating is very easy to scratch, Aspecially if the microscopic partical(s) get inbeetween the moving platers and heads, from there the coating on the plater flakes and the spreads. THIS is why you should NOT do it unless you have a bum drive that you want to use for downloading for temperary use. Even then I wouldint want to use the mod HDD for even that. The most I would like the use it for is for displaying while on, but not actually writing or reading from it. I think it would be awsome to see the heads move back and forth and insain speeds while at a LAN party or something. Maybe even moding it to the front of the case with a neon light and button attached to it.
So be carefull before you choose an expensive HDD or one with valuable data on it. The risk is to high to choose eaither.
