    free Faulty Laptop Drives

    I've put these up in case anyone wants to takes parts of one drive to try and get another working.

    Seagate Momentus XT 500GB SATA ST95005620AS - I suspect the cache has a problem - it was working sweet till it cocked up. Now if I try and restore an image it fails at the exact same point, even if I create a partition starting at a different point.

    Seagate Momentus 5400.5 320GB SATA ST9320320AS - Bad sectors gradually increasing.

    Toshiba 320Gb SATA MK3252GSX HDD2H01 - Platters have problems - drive has been dropped.

    Fujitsu 40GB IDE MHT2040AT - Not recognised - condition of platters not known.

    Free of charge, just pay postage plus paypal fees. (Or collect from TW5 postal area).

    If no one wants them for parts then I would have them to make something out of if you don't mind mate. I have been saving my faulty drives to build something that looks cool, maybe a clock or something. But if someone has a need for the parts the. That's more important

    Thanks to evilsatan
