During a 1996 internship, a high school student named Kerry and a fellow intern mishandled a new hard drive while attempting to install it. Despite their best efforts, they could not fit the drive into the designated rack using brute force. Their actions caused the drive to shoot out and drop 20 inches onto the table, leading to its potential damage. They later learned the proper installation method but faced the reality of damaging an expensive piece of equipment.
"All of a sudden, the hard drive overcame whatever friction point it was stuck on, shot out the other end of the rack, dropped straight down about 20 inches, and landed perfectly square onto the table with an enormous THUNK."
"We placed the rack on a table and observed it had slots that were open on both ends... but somehow, we could not get the drive inserted."
