This one of the smaller piles of Hard Disks that I receive a couple of times per year.
My 2 main sources are a local computer recycler that has saved me upwards of 200 drives in a single load, and a pair of chums that work in the I.T. Sector and save me what ever goes bad on their network.
This load represents about 2 weeks of evenings stripping down the drives and sorting the scrap into various piles. The Aluminum frames are recovered for the foundry and are an excellent stock as they flow nicely and are easy to machine. The yellow bucket of "Platter Hub Motors" needs to be melted twice, once to reduce the Alum from the internal metallic parts, and the second time for what ever project is underway.
