Yep, that’s right: it freaks the hell out. Honestly, we don’t know what else we were expecting. It’s an electronic device and a wet substance is coming into contact with it, so of course something erratic would happen. Still it’s pretty funny to watch the hard drive needle essentially go, “Nope, nope, nope!” as it flails across the data disk. Now, there really isn’t any logical, normal scenario wherein someone would touch a hard drive with a Sharpie much less an SSD. And so, this doesn’t really do anything for the HDD versus SSD debate, but it’s still funny to watch. Regardless, thanks to Testiplay on TikTok for the good laugh.
