    Ok, I've done bobs tea, cute birds, travel, and am not getting much reaction. :(
    So I am going to go with the flow.

    I have 10 old 320GB IDE Hard drives that I made into a door stop and paper weight.
    What do you guys do with your old hard drives?

    Sadly, when I was younger, I have thrown away smaller disks. Now the smallest I own is an IDE disk with variable disk space depending on jumper settings. It goes from 1.7GB to 5.xGB (don't remember exactly). I keep it as my own museum item :)

    Oh wow, that’s really cool! Do you know if it still works?

    Actually that is a good idea, not sure why I did not think of that. Thank you.

    This would also be a solution :) I am sure, you can find one with more PATA connections, it was just first google result. :)

    Price:
    $49.86
    xD i can buy like many 500gbs hdd with it used ones xd

    Find some on aliexpress, and you would get for $10 I think. Amazon is a lot more expensive :)

    Thanked by 1FrankZ

    Last time I used it, it worked. But a lot years have passed, it was moved several times (from city to city, not from shelf to shelf), so no guaranties :) But at least it is some memory :)

    As of August 2022, the largest hard drive is 22 TB (while SSDs can be much bigger at 100 TB, mainstream consumer SSDs cap at 8 TB). Smaller, 2.5-inch drives, are available at up to 2TB for laptops, and 5TB as external drives.

    Are you sure about 5 TB ?

    external drives are differently formatted, cannot be used as ntfs, i think so 5tb might be max for them, wikipedia stated it as 5tb

    Because I see 8TB, 10TB, 12 TB and so on for external HDD available on Amazon and whatnot

    Maybe I'll just buy new 4GB HD for $53 to replace the 10 old 320GB IDE and save some power. I'll have to think about that.

    I was drawn to all the wrong things: I liked to drink, I was lazy, I didn't have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non-being, and I accepted it. I didn't make for an interesting person. I didn't want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone. On the other hand, when I got drunk I screamed, went crazy, got all out of hand. One kind of behavior didn't fit the other. I didn't care.
