Would anyone be interested in magnetic backs for kilt pins?

HDDs are shielded within their housing. They should be safe. Not sure about external ones (don't have it)

What about the warranty stickers (technical term) placed over holes in the housing? The ones that say "Warranty Void if removed"? I believe some of those lead to the actual disk, depending on the drive.

Regardless, magnets and computers don't really mix. They can ruin monitors, data, etc.

Old HDDs would be a good source of rare earth magnets...

"Warranty void sticker" are just stickers. If they are removed or damaged, your warranty is not valid anymore. And that's about all! No damage to the goods will be done. And those small holes will not leak the magnetic field into the electronics (at least not to extend to cause any damage). Faraday cage can be made of mesh (net) material, doesn't have to be of full material.


For sure, HDDs are nice resource of rare earth magnets.
