Work is finally about to dispose of our large stockpile of old hard drives pulled from decommissioned IT equipment. All spinning rust, mixed sizes starting at 250GB to about 3TB.
I'm allowed to grab a "reasonable amount" but any reason not to just get the larger drives?
I lost interest in hardware pretty much after PIII so not aware of more modern limits like it's 160GB, or the previous 8GB, 500MB limits of old.
Won't be able to test beforehand, so can't check things like uptime, bad sectors, etc. but the price (free) it's worth the gamble.
