Easy, DimBulb, try not to be so awed. If you ask politely, someone may offer to teach you how to do a Google search.

We had a lot of early Seagate 21MB and up HDs that failed often, and we fixed them. The little flap that grounds the spindle shaft (and platters) to ground would get oxidized and the drive would fail.
Once we began burnishing that spot, and ensuring that the 'flap pressure' was good, the drives never failed again. I still have a couple.

Don't remind me! On similar drives we used to have to glue inner tube rubber to the back of the phosphor bronze spring that pushed the carbon grounding brush onto the spindle end to stop it resonating and squealing at something like the spindle speed.

I dunno. He's pretty much burned all his bridges. I suppose he could morph again. That might help.

Look! A shiny nickel!
Your statement: "Even the first 1GB drive was a 5.25", full height SCSI Seagate."
I don't see anything there about not including mainframe disk drives.
You Dumb Ass.
You're always wrong. I know. Brother, do I know!
