coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner is nc.com all right guys we're kicking off our day one coverage of computex 2013 in our home base in the WD Booth don't forget we are giving away a ton of cool stuff courtesy of Western Digital after the show the more you watch our WD coverage of the show The more prizes we're going to be giving away everything from hard drives to full gaming system all that kind of cool stuff check out the link to the Forum under in the video description to get all of the details now behind me you're going to see the main attraction here in the WD Booth this is a 14t 250 lb racing car made out of what is essentially a high density foam that is molded into the shape of actual hard drive components with a steel frame it has a racing seat inside so you can actually sit in it and get your picture taken as part of the Booth's attraction and we are going to be getting a sneak peek of the reveal that's actually going to happen in a little while but you'll see it first online as Tech tips this is it this is the big reveal I have my lovely assistants from WD revealing this car go ahead guys which is actually made so they took CAD drawings of components of hard drive some of the highest performance hard drives that you could possibly feasibly imagine with technology today and they blew it up huge scale so some of the things are blown up more or less than others this right here is a hard drive platter is actually not that much bigger than what you'd find in a 3 and 1 half in Drive however this guy here is significantly larger than what you'd see in real life this is a dual stage actuator assembly here that is what actually reads and writes the data off of The Platters and the cool thing about this is while it looks pretty big here and you could probably fit that platter I showed you before in between the actual distance between these and the platters in real life is 100 angstrom so to put that in perspective Ive a human hair is a million angstroms a bacteria is 5,000 angstroms and a virus is about 100 angstrom so these things are flying many many miles an hour over the top of the platter and there the tolerances are uh are not very big so we're going to make our way towards the back of the car these are the coils that actually drive the head assembly over the platters themselves they have to be extremely precise in order to read any data off of it and at all we've got more dual stage actuators more coils all of this is made of a high density foam with a steel skeleton so the whole thing actually only weighs 250 lbs making it very portable but it's solid enough that you can actually sit in the thing now the amount of the craftsmanship that went into this this is handbuilt so if you were to get really really close you'd be able to see every sandpaper mark on the thing because they spent countless hours building this thing to show show off their technology so down here we've actually got a PCB Trace that's been blown up to car size as well as a pivot bearing right here so these high technology bearings actually have to be smooth enough and precise enough for that well that those those tiny tiny data tolerances now we're going to sort of cheat and we're going to be the first ones to sit in the car here I'm just going to lift up the side door we're going to go ahead and see if I can maneuver this thing so while it is durable enough to sit in I also wouldn't recommend jumping right into it because it is made of uh of foam it doesn't have quite the same structural strength as a as an actual Western Digital hard drive here we go and of course uh I can't promise that any hard drive you buy will make you this cool but if there's even a chance I think I'll go for it guys stay tuned don't miss any of our computex coverage and as always don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips"}
