At least someone is listening to me.

Pic related anything is a microphone, and as user said above we won't have HDDs for long. I'm pretty sure phones just read your mind all day through your body's EM field, OP is pretty low brow.

they can't even do anything about mass murdering muslims that are on lists, being watched, have criminal history, beside retroactively look through their shit

you could turn a hard drive into a record player if you were to somehow encode the musical data onto the plate under the needle
why hasn't this been done

I dont even care if they where they would have better characters in their fucking movies

A group of physicists in a lab can use the physical components of a platter drive as a microphone. Seems like no big deal. They have access to high precision measurement apparatuses and are certainly plugging into the drives' feedback amplifiers directly. That is: if your home or office PC mysteriously have a bunch of foreign electronics attached to them, maybe a physicist is listening to you via your HDD.
Breddy much a nothing burger. If you think that the CIA niggers have slipped the capability to use this into the sata spec and motherboard hw then you're nuts. Many easier ways for them to be degenerate, voyeuristic asshats.

encryption keys can be picked up by listening into cpu noises.
nothing is safe
