This is an old Western Digital hard drive I stripped from one of my computers that had become obsolete. This particular hard drive was removed from one of my favorite computers that I had built years ago - she was referred to as the "Old Gal." The capacity of this hard drive is 80Gb and at the time I wondered what I was going to do with all that storage space LOL!!! Time has passed and today computer storage devices are measured in Terabytes or stored in The Cloud. Most of us don't give a second thought as to what the inner workings of a hard drive would look like. I think it's cool to see the platters and read/write head revealed. This drive still retains its functionality, in a sense, and has become an interesting conversation piece. Today, it is proudly displayed on a shelf in my home office. Hope you like it!!!
