HGST Hard Drive

For decades, every photo, game and document you saved lived on a spinning hard drive. Inside, a mirror-polished platter spins thousands of times per minute while a read/write head floats just nanometers above it, moved by powerful magnets with incredible speed and precision. It is one of the most beautiful machines inside a computer, and almost nobody sees it.

Most people never get to see what is inside the hardware that powered their games, work and late nights. At FunBox Design, our studio team takes every hard drive apart by hand: careful disassembly, deep cleaning of every single part, layout design, and final production in our Los Angeles workshop. It takes hours of patient, screw-by-screw work, because this hardware holds some of our own best memories too. Our goal is simple: bring it a second life.
