I thought I was out of hand, I did like 500. I always gave the drives back though, no reason for me to keep them... You never know, they might need it for something should something fail or whatnot in the future.
It seemed liek more than 1500 drives to me.
They are what, 6" long? So 1500 of them is like 750 feet worth of drives. Did that seem like 750 feet? Seemed longer to me... Which would mean MORE drives. Strange.
Making matters more confusing, if you figure out the time, it was like 125 seconds. So to get through 1500 drives 12 of them have to fall per second. It looks more like 5-7 are falling a second to me. This would indicate LESS drives were used.
Me thinks these are various clips that have been assembled using the same drives over and over
