I do this all the time. Those super strong magnets are impressive.

I built an alarm clock out of CD4017 decade counter ICs and the alarm uses a hard drive actuator arm striking a bicycle bell, so that's one thing you can build with these.

I use those plattors to coffee cup tray :D And magnets I use to hold crews for project machine.

Fair enough you're salvaging the magnets, but what are you going to use them for? Making a MagLev scale model?

These are indeed some good whiteboard magnets, powerful enough to not constantly fall off like the normal whiteboard magnets often do :D

At work we usually throw them up high to steel surfaces and then let someone wonder how the hell we are ever supposed to get that thing off from there.

New ones have such puny little magnets. Proper 15krpm SCSI drives from 15 years ago have waaay beefier ones :-)

However, those magnets are best left in place as those old SCSI HDDs apparently are quite valuable now ;)

I have had an interesting experience with magnets from hard drives. After using them for a while the lost significant amount of their magnetic properties. Not sure if that the case with all of them.

Did you drop those magnets, or were they exposed to vibration, or extreme heat? That could have demagnetized them.

Are those 🧲 strong?

Yes, these are NIB (neodymium iron boron) magnets, they are very strong.

I dunno, something about this video attracted me to it. 🙂😃😅🤣😄😂😆😁
