Running a 2GB Server Drive - BLDC Motor Control

Running an old Brushless DC (BLDC) Hard Drive Motor with a ESC, RC electronic speed control.

These are decades old hard drives with large aluminum platers that I have been meaning to spin up for years to do some magnetic projects.  I have larger older 2 GB server drives I plan to spin up next to make a magnetic levitator.

Hard Drive Motors are Brushless DC Motors (BLDC Motor) which are 3 phase motors.

BLDC Brushless DC motors can be sensored or sensorless BLDC.  These hard drive BLDC motors are sensorless.

The Hard Drive Motors are being driven by an RC ESC (Electronic Speed Control) powered by a regulated power supply and controlled by a servo controller  but could be an RC transmitter and receiver as well.
