I have a drive here that he gave me that was shot with a .357 Magnum.
It has a very neatly punched hole right through the platters! I keep
it on my desk as a warning to the rest of the hardware.

In contrast, my IDE drives have failed abruptly
and without warning, many
times before the warranty was expired. I have a bucket of such drives,
which I intend to take the platters out to make attractive and very smooth
drinks coasters.
Those platters also make fine wind chimes, although it's
better to use several drives of different sizes as all those
precisely machined platters from the same drive play exactly
the same note. ;-)
