This poor laptop drive was serving me well as a jank storage pool on my Nas for almost 8 years now and today it died.

Disassemble it. Use the disks as decorations. Make it into a wind chime and hang it outside your window.

16 years old? Nice
I have a 2006 drive that's still chugging along. IDE at that, haha
