|
Anyone want to get rid of any of there old IDE drives?
160 to 250 preferred.
I know they are pretty cheap new these days but I am a cheaper person than that. |

I have a 520... but you'll need a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter
that's megabytes btw. |

I'll have 2 120GB drives to dump once their quiet replacements show up... prolly be a month before I get that all done, though. |

I too have discovered that they make great permanent backup media at a reasonable price... |

I already have two 120's in there right now. I suppose I could add two more.
Maybe I will just bite the bullet and buy a new oem 250. |
