Why can't I overclock my Harddrive?

I came across this topic on the GameFAQs message boards. The guy has to be joking but still its worth a read.

[Poppa_Meth]

I've got my 120GB WD OCed to 57TB now. If I could just get windows to regocnize it I'd be in business.

Y'all got nothin' on my gas-powered 3HP floppy drive

[glockjs]

well it's a work in progress but i got the PSU flux capacitor up to 3 jiggawatts.

@rally paahhh lease, i got my briggs and strat floppy drive runnin at 5.075hp and prime stable at that

I managed my major OC by taking the engine out of my car and rigging the drive shaft to my HDD platters. I've never seen them spin so fast. I did lose one platter though since it wasn't attached well. My father has one hell of a headache with that thing lodged in his noggin. But no big loss since the drive has infinite space anyway right?

I didn't hear this story first-hand but I believe it to be credible. This was in the early days of space flight. Weight was critical. A NASA engineer responsible for tallying the weight in the command capsule allocated weight for the computer code and data based on the weight of the printout of these. I guessed he figured that when these were loaded that 1's & 0's weighed a lot more that a bunch of 0's.

The above idea would be a waste of money, to get a faster, bigger hard disk you need patience, only that, patience, and this is why:

In approximately 10 years hard disk will have an unlimited capacity, so all those 100Terabytes hard disks that people have been using ( 5 years in the future) will be tossed, most of them by geeks and slashdot readers, once that starts to happen, you just need to scavenge for the faster, bigger you can find.

A Piece of cake.
