About This Item

This PCMCIA HDD has eaten its last byte.

This is a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with the cover taken off. I removed the metal cover over the top of the drive so that you can see the internal components. This HDD is actually rotating media. The platters you see inside spin at upwards of 4200 revoltions per minute (depending on the platter density) and can have a capacity of up to 5 GB. The arm moves from side to side accessing different parts of the platter while reading the data stored or writing new data on these metal platters.

Found it in The Celery Farm it wasn't a listed Bug. Nice short walk my granddaughter took a DVD dropped off a loon. I took the Data Eater to rekindle interest, drop it soon.

Time to move out of the tri-state area and spin some mileage on this media. Will arrive next week with a new ZipLock bag for this trip.

If there's anything to the name, I'll keep this bug away from my computer. 🙂 Will move along shortly.

Dropped this TB off in a FTF close to a center of technology research....seems very appropriate.
