I thought that once the bad drive was in the external enclosure I would be able to change its orientation, maybe allowing the drive to spin steadily.

[Michael Tsai's Weblog] Michael Tsai - Blog - MacBook Pro Woes: Understandably the trees had to be chopped down to feed my insatiable appetite for data security, but I consider the loss of general amenity, (ie. my neighbourhood looks like a moon-crater), a small price to pay for that sense of peace I have in the odd millisecond between the elecronic whirring and the general clatter.

[Ned Batchelder's blog] Ned Batchelder: Print this file, your printer will jam: But on a closer note - back at McDonnell-Douglas in late 70's a legend was that someone figured out the arm movement speeds on an old hard disk (IBM 3380?) and and set up a program to seek back and forth at high speed and start moving the disk drive unit across the floor, like a washing machine that is unbalanced. Never saw it happen.
