Broken Teac SD-3105 from 1991 spinning up and down

Before seeing this drive I had absolutely no idea Teac even manufactured hard drives at all. Unfortunately this rare hard drive is broken. Note the "head crash" sticker that was applied by a previous owner. Unfortunately, they were right... This hard drive is completely broken, I don't even think it completes its seek test. It is unknown if the drive died from an end-user accident or from a natural cause. Amazingly enough while I was trying the drive in a computer FDISK managed to detect a partition. This drive will make all kinds of strange noises when hooked up to a computer including loud metallic banging noises and will shut down by itself after a while. Really really sad... This hard drive has a really cool spindle sound. I think it sounds older than its age. This drive takes an unusually long time to spin down. The seek sounds are unknown but judging from the incomplete seek test and spin down they were possibly really cool. The incomplete seek test goes Kuh-KuhK. This hard drive looks surprisingly good. It is all black with a kind of big label. I like how the top part is shaped and outlines the disks. Its got a big green LED on the front. Seems kind of unusual to me. The circuit board is beautiful with its assortment of parts and writings. I also really like the 3 flex cables going to it. No, I absolutely hate flex cables, but they can look good like on this hard drive. The circuit board has pins to connect an external LED. Another thing that makes this drive special; its got 2 power connectors. One is a small molex connector like those used on your typical 3 1/2" floppy drive, and the other is a special 3-pin connector. Definitely strange. This is the only drive I have ever seen with a small molex power connector. As for the special 3-pin connector, it's definitely rare but I think I've seen it on a Conner CP30126 as well. One thing I don't like about this circuit board is having to jumper it. Since it is broken I decided to open it and film it. Breaking a broken drive is better than breaking a functioning one right. To open this drive you need to remove the 6 torx screws that hold the top cover in place. It cannot be seen in the video but the platters are in-fact damaged. Or at least the top one is, not sure about the other. During the seek test you can see the heads stop where the big damage is, and an horrible sound is heard, the sound of death. It's rare, it sounds cool, it looks cool, it is cool, man what a shame it is broken. But anyway one day all hard drives will be broken, it's only a matter of time unless a genius finds a way to restore them.
