That is exactly the first thing that came to my mind... I wonder if that field is strong enough to damage a hard-drive?

Is that a paperclip in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

A perfect example of something we ordinarily can't see, so we ignore. Good video.

magnets do not affect hard disks... at least not any you could find easily. floppies and tape backup media? yes.

a hard drive contains a magnet. a rather powerful one at that.
in order to wipe or corrupt data on a hard drive with a magnet, you would either need a degausser, or a magnet powerful enough to remove the iron from your blood cells.

(See: http://www.pcworld.com/article/116572/busting_the_biggest_pc_myths.html)

i'd be more worried about my credit cards, but that's such a small field that it probably wouldn't even affect them anyway.

I knew the machines would become sentient sooner or later...

Also the hard drive is basically housed in a faraday cage inside a faraday cage...

Ahem - let me correct some of this attempted nerditry.
Yes hard drives do contain powerful magnets but they are shielded pretty heavily to prevent data corruption via electromagnetic fields. The way data corruption would occur is either on the silicone of the motherboard (or other cards) OR through the ide/sata cables (in both cases they are shielded but not as much as the hard drive and thus are more susceptible to EMF)
