Storyline

The second life of a hard disk drive

You probably do it too: reuse your stuff to prevent environmental pollution. For example, think of separating your waste, taking your clothes to the thrift store or refilling your water bottle. But there are also other, lesser known, products that you can reuse to contribute to environmental sustainability, such as the hard disk drive of your PC or laptop. In this photo series I will take you through the ‘refurbishment process’ of a hard disk drive which can give this data carrier a second life.
