I thought hard disk speakers looked cool so I’ve made one.
the hdd which I’ve used is an old Seagate (631mb capacity – yeah.. Really old.)
Don’t do this with new/good hdd’s because once you open that drive’s case, you can’t expect to use it as a storage drive anymore.
“hard disk speakers” are nothing more than eye candy. they sound pretty crap and you need an amplifier to work it. they’re quite easy to make though.. – if you have a dead hdd lying around, might as well play around with it =D

The motion of the …
The motion of the arm going back and forth creates vibrations which are picked up by the human ear as sound. just like a normal speaker is a cone shape bouncing in and out due to a magnet pushing and pulling it.

A tip
Make sure that the reader arm doesnt move, so tight it very fast, maybe solder it.
Better sound that way

lol…i did this project a while back…I had a very low frequency bass tester on a cd, so I hooked it up to my amp in my truck…2000w of sheer kicker wasn’t a bright idea…that arm flew off so fast, I found it a couple days later stuck into the side of my garage…
