A dead hard drive is best used to build a clock, simply because of the platter disk is best to make up a clock face. Most hard-drive clocks that we’ve seen before come with pretty simple clock face that lacks of serious effort from the maker. But we have an exceptional here today, a recycled hard drive clock, much cooler than any one that we’ve seen before and it looks more like a clock.
The designer of this hard drive clock has put in some effort to make it to look more like a clock, with added stylish design. The clock face comes with numbers engraved on the magnetic disk and it’s hung on a cool wooden frame. The entire clock stands 11 inches tall and measures 10.75 inches wide.
This hard drive has engraved on its inside edge the very day it was made Dec-4-1987. however theres no telling the day this old drive died. the hard drive was far bigger than any other hard drive ive found. its magnetic disk now delicately hand engraved with numbers is a little over five inches wide, a full inch and a half larger than the common hard drive disks we now use. the reading arm on the disk still swings up and down and the pin against it spins as it swings.
