No, they're not. They have a pressure relief. It's a small hole
with a filter. Without it the drive would suffer stresses associated
with barometric pressure and gas expansion due to heating.

the internal parts of a hard drive is sealed to keep out dust particles
that would scratch the platters or read/write head. With the cost per
GB of disk space so inexpensive, it would be a waste of time to try to
repair it.

That's what I've always seen. Sometimes the hole says "Do not cover."

They've got some wicked magnets in them, I've got a whole pile I've been
gradually parting out. There's some cool ball bearings and other bits
too and a fair amount of scrap aluminum.


FYI make sure you remove the silly crossposting if replying to any of
these threads, there's a lot of that floating around lately.
