in this next picture is what I wanted to show.. that little gold ic chip on the read write aramture

now the total from all the scraps You get out it is this,

2.25lbs of controller boards total 28.00
1.25 ext alum 00.85
4.25 cast alum 01.92
1.50 platter 01.50
2.50 steel 00.25
.25 read write head aramture 00.15
2.00 motors 01.50

total value 34.17-this is avg

now if you sold this for total weight it would been 13lbs at 1.05 per pound come to 13.65 profit of breaking it down is 20.52 so I gained that much but it took an addtional 30 mins to break it down.

Hope You like the video and the break down. Please comment if You like thanks or have question

That IC chip is about the highest gold per pound IC out there. I ran some that were in the 20g a pound range.

Great little video, I love how fast you can break down those drives "right in front of us" Great work. Keep it up. :)

I'm glad You like My Video.. Thanks for watching .

I think he has a buyer at 12.50 a pound for hard drive boards.

Good video, but you need to check the resale value of those first before scrapping them, one of them i recognized as a seagate st-251 43mb. It is worth $50 all day long on ebay. I didnt recognize the other 2 but probably worth about the same. Just 1 drive your gonna come out ahead over what you made off the 3 and there is about the same amount of time involved listing and shipping them over scrapping them out.
