WTB old computer hard drives

[sullivan]

Im looking to buy hard drives, new bad old destroyed. im just pulling these apart to get the neodymium magnets from them.

You can drill out the platter for security if you want (please dont destroy the magnets when destroying the platters)

one man's trash is another man's treasure in this case, so im not looking to pay top dollar, let me know what you have

Mind me ask what you doing with the magnets?
I know what some of my friends do with them so I'm curious lol
Puttin them on your bike or actually building something?

How many are you needing? We've got a few desktops and laptops at work that don't work and they're just sitting on a shelf. I'm nor sure what we're doing with them but I'll ask tomorrow if you want`

I right now am just coming along these strong magnets, ive already began to experiment with them on my bike. However I do a lot of home made circuit projects and ive been playing with some reed switches lately. trying to come up with something neat.

what do your friends use them for

Im in need of quite a few, someone has pmed me and I think they might have me covered pretty well as they seem to go to the land fill with them often. They only have 2 magnets in each drive from my experience, some larger and some smaller.

They make their own brushless outrunner motors and put them in the wheels of scooters and skateboads lol our pretty much whatever they can lol
They use the stators from copy machines and magnets from hard drives
