Default Hard drive recovered from Columbia Shuttle
Quote:
Researchers have finally published the results of data recovered from a cracked and singed hard drive that fell to Earth in the debris from the Space Shuttle Columbia, which exploded during reentry on February 1, 2003, killing all seven crewmembers.
Hard Drive Recovered from Columbia Shuttle Solves Physics Problem: Scientific American

Quote:
HARDENED DRIVE: Engineers from Johnson Space Center recovered this hard drive, a cold-plate mounted Seagate containing roughly 400 megabytes of data from the CVX-2 experiment, from the wreckage of the Space Shuttle Columbia in February 2003. They sent this image to CVX-2 engineers in October, alerting them that the hard drive had withstood the explosion of the shuttle.
Yeah, that's pretty badass. I wonder what's the model of the hard drive...




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

Definitely. This is nothing but a huge PR boost for Seagate.
