what happens when you put a harddrive into a microwave?

Answer 1

It depends if it's grounded or not.

If yes, then it heats up and the plastics start to melt.

If no, then it heats up and starts to spark.

Either way, you're looking at complete data loss.

The damage is hypothetical of course seeing as I've never stuck a hard drive in the microwave. The sparking and plastic melting is from personal accidental experience with other objects over the course of my life.

I also know from actual knowledge and experience that metal not grounded in the microwave will not spark.

Answer 2

Where do these questions come from... What would happen if you put anything with metal in the microwave, why dont you go try it out and see?

Answer 3

You would have a ruined harddrive, a ruined microwave, and possibly a fire of some sort. I wouldn't recommend experimentation.

Answer 4
