10k-RPM WD 8mb Raptor vs. AK-47

krag · 12-22-07, 12:01 PM

Welp, I know this won't help anyone fix thier drive or raid array but its still kinda cool~

This was one of 2 from my 1st Raptor raid O arrays. It died suddenly on a new install of XP Pro. Proly about my 20th re-install. I checked the numbers on WD site to see if I could RMA it but it came up as out of warrenty. Which is the 1st time that has happend to me on a Raptor. Anyways, I thought I would try and see just how much an Enterprise level HD could take...LOL!

Hmmm, shock treatment? check! Punture treatment, check! Anti-static treatment via metal penetration, check! All tests have proven to be failures...

heh

Sorry for the blurry pics, it was very late and dark last night around 3:30 (pacific northwest).

The victim:

krag · 12-22-07, 12:02 PM

13 x 7.62mm rounds in 2 1/2 sec at 3 feet.

krag · 12-22-07, 12:03 PM

Backside shot...(pun intended)

krag · 12-22-07, 12:05 PM

Coolshot of a waterfall nearby the testing grounds.

krag · 12-22-07, 12:06 PM

I have the victim in my truck. I'll drag it out and take a clearer shot in a bit.

Note to self - a Raptor will not stop a bullet

Bender · 12-22-07, 12:14 PM

I'm just glad I'm not an old piece of Krag's hardware!

krag · 12-22-07, 01:38 PM

Ok, Bender if you really wanted to you could be.

(sounds philosophical...lol)

OKwolf, yeah, dadgummit, looks like a Bible in the shirt pocket is much better...heh!.

Autopsy pics below.

Look how thick the aluminum housing is...nioce~!

krag · 12-22-07, 01:39 PM

krag · 12-22-07, 01:40 PM

krag · 12-22-07, 01:41 PM

jivetrky · 12-22-07, 02:05 PM

krag · 12-22-07, 02:09 PM

2 more pics...(yeah, I'm bored)

The clodge of debris is magnetic...heh...go figure.

krag · 12-22-07, 02:10 PM

Bullet frags and magnetic disk particles make for a good snowman...eeh?

krag · 12-22-07, 02:15 PM
