HD Project

I have a lot of old hard drives, some of which are still working and others are damaged. My project is collect the sounds produced during start-up. To do this I use a digital recorder ZOOM H4N using the two incorporated microphones and two 'diy'ed contact microphones additionally. This here is the sound of a Western Digital Caviar 32500 working fine.
