Description

The listing, NOT WORKING~AS-IS 4 pcs. 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Disk Drives has ended.

Hello, all you beautiful people! These are four BROKEN hard drives that a fraudster tried to pass off on me. In the end I got my money back and the dubious bonus of keeping these poor drives. All are 3.5 inch drives that fit into desktop computers. Two of them are 2Tb (2000Gb) capacity, and two have no label so they're a mystery...

Use them for parts, for data recovery practice, for funky art installations, whatever your hacker heart desires. Free shipping within USA. Please ask for international shipping quote. Any questions, well, I'm sure you know the drill. Thank you for stopping by and good luck!

So what isn’t working? Do they have windows but won’t boot up properly?

If I recall correctly, none are recognized at all by the computer. They are completely broken, and there seems to be no (normal) way to put data on them. They are unusable as they currently are, and might be good for people who do hardcore tinkering, taking them apart, swapping parts, etc.

All hard drives have gold recovery, platinum recovery inside because of the magnets inside, only ferrous metals can be used. I use to scrap computers. I tweeted your listing to other friends who still scrap. I,m just browsing. Nice listing.

Thanks so much! I have some desperately huge rackmount server parts as well. I was going to just recycle them, but now you've got me thinking. Much appreciated!

You need to open server parts because some have solid gold connectors because gold can take high heat temp, copper and brass can melt down. Some servers get to 650 watts on heat displacement. And if you get lucky palladium (PD).
