Waterloggedby ~richardxthripp

Photography / Still Life

A hard-disk platter and arm, covered in water drops. Die!

The hard drive is a Seagate ST34311A (4.33GB); it failed about 16 months ago. Blend In (2006-06-25) is another photo that features it.

Edited. Original image here.

That's pretty darn cool. Haha.

~Whinnie10 Jun 26, 2006

Cool!

I love how it reflects the background and gives it a dull look, to match the shape it's in. I bet you deliberately splashed water on the hard drive for the pic, ehh?

Thanks!

Yes, of course I did.

My first and last Seagate broke after 4 Months. Nice work

Thanks! This one I'd used moderately for almost 5 years (it came with my first computer, which I was still using with a replacement hard drive up until February of this year); but even that isn't long enough. Sorry about your bad experiences with them.
