What's wrong with this hard drive?

I do hope that the HDD was inside a class 100 lanimar flow clean cabinet... 🙏

If you not you have successfully overkilled your drive. I do have a very amateurish knowledge about HDD and Data recovery so i read post and talk to specialists to learn about the subjects. I don't go looking on tiktok or whatever video that pops on a web search engine.

Thank you for the replies. I am not trying to save this drive. I am just trying to learn. That's why I wasn't worried about taking the cover off.

Kudos on trying to learn.

From the video it sounds like the heads are hitting the platter., and the lower head looks like it is damaged. I dont see any scratches on the top of the platter, so if you are on a learning adventure, try a head swap. It probably will not work, but it is worth a shot if you are learning.

I am by no means a professional, but I do believe in trying to help answer questions, instead of making comments that provide nothing.
