Yes they are... this happened to me the first time I pried open a hard
drive. I levered out the magnets using a vice-grip, not realizing how
strong they were.. I got all the stuff I wanted out of the drive, and
was going to put the magnets back into the drive housing with my hands..
When the magnet got about a foot away from the other ones still attached
inside, the drive casing *leaped* up at my hand, smashing my thumb ...
My thumbnail turned all black and blue, and took weeks to get back to
normal... I had never heard a warning before so I had no idea..
anyways, be careful...
