I love that some of the drives thought ejecting would be safer than going down with the ship.
Old phones used to do this with the battery and it worked. All that energy got used sending the battery into orbit and your phone was fine to shoot literal 3 pointers with.
Tell me you owned a Nokia without telling me you owned a Nokia.

Didnβt know this. It lost to openAI apparently.
Have they had any of these play an actual human?
Having recently invested in a homelab and experienced the cost of enterprise HDDs, this makes me weep and my pockets hurt.
I will save this one for work!
Definitely looks like a storage array. Based on how the drives look, maybe an EMC Clariion (CX or CX3 model)?
If those are 2.5" SAS mechanical drives those servers were likely being shipped off to a recycler.
SSDs and 3.5 inch drives are the only things still in active use in most places.
Those look like 3.5" drives.
Front loading bays though. Most 3.5 inch drives go in top loading bays. Do they looking like modern 3.5inch drives, or older ones?
There are a number of chassis that have front loading 3.5" bays. I have one at home.
Looking at the pic, each chassis looks to be 3U. I'd bet money those are 3.5".
I'd have to see the connection ports... IDE, SATA, and SCSI drives all look the same unless it's one of the 5 inch drives that afaik only ever were SCSI.
