Flaming Hard Drive FTW!

With the sheer amount of things we have caught on fire around here, it shouldn’t surprise me to see someone else’s hard drive catch on fire. You know you are a tech-nerd when your PC catches fire you run for the camera, not the fire extinguisher.

So I powered the system off and pulled the drive, I examined it and it looked fine, so I figured I would just plug it in while it was out of the case to make sure it was running... when I hit the power button flames..LITERALLY shot out of the bottom of the HDD.
