Why do external hard-rives vibrate when using them

Why do external hard-rives vibrate when using them

>why does a disk spinning at 5400RPM that's not bolted to anything want to move around


you tell me

user..

because they have fast spinning disks inside them.

>hard-rives
I don't know, I have an old WD one that doesn't vibrate much at all.

I want to touch one with my penis

>18 plus
Neck yourself right now

It would be very painful

7200 you

For you

Why do they spin?

Its got a little motor in the middles that goes really fast.

but whats the motor for?

to make them spin

were you dropped on the head as a child?

Because data is stored unevenly on the disk, it will cause a vibrating effect when the motor spins it.

but why do they spin?

to balance out the rotational velocidensity

The problem often comes from defragmentation.

When data is heavily fragmented it actually helps to balance out the disk because the data is scattered all over the place. When you do a defragmentation, all the data is moved together so that it's quicker to access, but then you end up with a portion of the drive being full of data and heavier, and another portion of the drive being empty and lighter, and this throws the disk totally off balance when it spins.

eh?

don't you fucking 'eh' me you fucking piece of shit

I don't understand あのんくん

am i not speaking american clearly enough for you to understand, zippy?
Rotational
Velocidensity

yea but could you explain?

Stop fighting please you're scaring me.

They spin to access the data written on the discs.

why not just read it without spinning?

It's the motor

How?

my memory stick doesn't spin

Theyre kind of like CD or LP disks

Sucks to be you I guess

au contraire

>external hard-drives with disks

What? I didn't know these exist, I thought all were SSDs. Doesn't it break easily?

get an external enclosure and a ssd.

no more vibrations

What I love to do when they are spinning full speed is grab them and move them around in the air.
It pushes back. Kind of neat.

Not unless you're an idiot. If you just leave it alone it'll be fine.
>Example

Neither does an ssd. Checkmate atheists

This is the nu-Sup Forums, everyone. Just rename it /nug/.

I heard on facebook this was a free tech support site. Really informal but I like that, gives it a nice personal feeling like my own army I can call on whenever I need it.

there's a stupid questions thread you know...

>he isn't solid state

>/nug/

Almost immediately would be infested with stoner jokes

fucking HDDs how do they spin and store data?

kek

to pleasuure your anoos

This thread. Fucking kek

It would be アノんくん you pleb

ごめんあさい アノんさん

>ごめんあさい

>アノん
Fucking pleb.

it's called rotational velocidensity. don't worry, it's not a big deal unless you're trying to load a really, REALLY big file, then sometimes the velocidensity builds up and the disk can move from the momentum and might fall off and get damaged.

they vibrate because the vibrations wake up the ones and zeroes, so they move faster
duh, common sense (tm)

The idea to cover the whole disk with a giant head isn't new.

I've got one of those toshiba 1tb hard drives. it clicks and annoys me when plugged into my USB hub - no clicking when plugged straight into computer. is it not getting enough power through the hub? it still works fine but the clicking when in use is really annoying.
