@cenzo188 We extracted the tape from an old back up cassette. We removed the platters then used a drill on slow speed to transfer the tape. It took about 15 mins to complete the task due to trying to drill too fast.
When you opened the Drive i was confused for 3 secs. Than I was actually thinking: “Is there such a thing as tape drives?” … about 3 more secs. And than I started laughing … about 3 Mins.
How to reproduce this video:
1) Take an old hard drive apart and replace the platters with audio cassette tape
2) Plug it into a computer’s Molex connector for power
3) ???
4) Profit!
I don’t get it.

So did you really wind all that tape on the hub, or just replace the hub with a tape spool?
NO WAY.. We have the same keyboard!
@adlerman12005 IT’s not a hard drive or a tape drive its a troll you dimwit phishburquer
When I saw the tape in there I lost it, but then I saw the mac trashcan!
How much did this store? also, wtf are the tags on this vid?
Maxtor makes 8-track tapes!
This isn’t a magnetic tape drive, it’s a hard disk drive where someone for some reason replaced the platters with magnetic tape.
