Those are the drives from a computer I'm repairing for a guy. Copying files from a Seagete 120GB to a Maxtor 250. He has never defragged them since 2005.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Haha, sounds like a door creaking open very very slowly.

One could sample that onto a B-horror-movie.

Side note: Is that jizz-paper on the floor there? Clean your room, Louie!

I need around tree fiddy.

Sounds like it's about to fail from all the constant reading. I imagine the head is going crazy.

You wish I used it to wipe off dried up fat from his CD drive.

The shaky cam and the low lighting makes it look like a seedy low budget porn flick.

Or maybe it's just because hard drives are sexy.

I have no idea. Guy's a slob.
