Hey all, I finished a build recently, upgraded from a ca. 2008 build.

What does one do with old HDD? I have this IDE Maxtor. Recycle? Rip apart for magnets?

Just use it in your seedbox ore somewhere else where it doesn't matter that it will wear out

Why would you destroy a perfectly working HDD? Are you some kind of retarded hipster?

When I was in HS, I sold one to this guy for two bucks and he had fun chucking the platters around.

Are you OP?

>>55478823
Yes

Softmod an original Xbox, if the drive is compatible.

>>55478833
Then I suggest destroying the platters, as they still contain all the data

>>55478734
I'd rip the magnets out. Those are always useful.

You could get an adapter and use it, but I wouldn't store anything I actually needed on an 8 year old harddrive.

Why did they even bother?
>>

Gift it to some homeless man.

I got the drive in 2006. And yeah it's no longer working.

Magnets could be fun/useful.

This.

>>55478858
My hard drive is 12 years old and still going. It is just a backup drive though so I'm only losing out if my main drive goes as well.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
