Nope - Completely gone. There was a lot of fine dust in the can... Of all the drives I've torn down over the last thirty years,... this is the worst ... by far. I think all the platters I have (supper glued into a single stack) are still 'prestine'
That says some amazing things about those drives that the head was physically GONE before it quit working!

I'm not sure how long it was still powered before being taken offline. and looking more at it,.. All FOUR heads are gone.. to that level or more.

Nearly the full limit of our zone... about to take the kids out again..

Our max ended about 26 mins ago. Sadly a rather thick layer of clouds here.
-
@dashrender If it's any consolation, it was barely noticeable here.

with glasses, you could still easily see the sliver as it moved around the moon. We maxed at 98% coverage. it was brighter than dusk still at that time, but noticeably less bright than normal.
Of course the cloud cover also played a role in how dark it was compared to normal.

I was literally three blocks north of total coverage here in St. Louis. I did get to see the shadow bands on the ground. I got videos of those and I will post them later.

Nice, we got a bunch of clouds here at the peak time for coverage, I got some pictures of it, and blindness.

We had no cloud cover here. It was actually really fun to watch.

It started to roll in from the west pretty heavily...

We didn't get much of a change... It got slightly darker outside, but nothing noticeable.

Same, I didn't even bother going outside, it wasn't much of a shift. I did check it out for a minute on twitter's live feed though.

Grrr.... the eclipse made the ASUS chromebook go up 10 bucks since I put it in my Amazon shopping cart. I guess it will go back down after fears of a possible eclipse zombie apocalypse are quelled.
