Convert An Old Hard Drive Into A Smartphone Stand, Pen Holder And More


Happen to have an old hard drive lying around that you need a project for? WonderHowTo blogger Samimy Productions shows off a way to upcycle a dead hard drive into a mobile phone stand and charger, a LED light and a secret flash drive.

The hard drive is repurposed into an insane desktop tool that kicks power to the mobile phone and the LED. The best feature is a hidden flash drive inside the hard drive that won’t be detected by a computer unless you trigger it with the external light.
