This kind of stuff doesn't work on new technology; drive density and calibration is too high for this type of device to work anymore.

$5000 really isn't too bad....if it actually worked.

If a machine existed that I could put platters on (no matter the brand) and read the data off, and then basically rebuild the platter order, etc like a RAID (haha) then $5000 would be no problem.


but you can't, so this is the largest paperweight/doorstop that I have seen.


Would look impressive for marketing!
