Anybody got a dead hard drive they want to give away?

[Wookie]

I'm looking for a hard drive (doesn't have to work) for very cheap, preferably free. Anybody got any knocking round that they want to get rid of?

If it works, I'll show you; I can say no more...

lol wtf??
seriously, any particular age HD? how many do you want?

 

[Wookie]

No particular age, although newer would probably be better, because what I need it for is one of its features which degrades according to time and conditions (but doesn't depend on the drive working); and as many as it takes to find one suitable

i think everyone should refuse to help the wookster unless he tells us what he's up to

Damn curious myself now! Got a few knocking about, some fairly recent. Got 2 120Gb Maxtors if they're any use?

[tek-monkey]

Well he had a drive or 2 off me, but no idea what they're for!

Is he polishing them and selling them as wall art? Or something more practical?

Hello my dear - after all your hasslings I finally dropped by to make a few posts.

How many do you need - I'll just ask our IT dept not to scrap any, we'll have tonnes!

P.S. Wookie is to blame for me being here! Direct your complaints to him

I am guessing they are for a stand alone hard disk media plug into your telly thang media player?
