HD-window- See it reading and seeking?

If you get a window for your hard drive, can you see the insides moving and it reading and seeking?

cheers

Yes you can BUT I'm assuming your thinking of something done yourself... which wouldn't work as the air inside a HDD is dust free. Open it up and chances are it'll die fast as one spec of dust trapped between head and platter will destroy the disk. Reason being the dust will bounce the head and cause it to bounce off the disk causing perminant and fatal damage.

Trust me its fun for the first few days then you grow bored.

A disk drives life is pretty dull TBPH

Why would anyone buy a raptor-x for the added price? To look at the only mechanical and most outdated technology in your PC? Yawn

You may be impressed for a few minutes at most

And it shortens the MTBF quite drastically. they dont put that in the large print though
