Lol what a mug. Let's hope a scam artists buys it.

I don't think he should be allowed MM access.

doofer · 27 Nov 2011 at 16:19

You drove a hard bargain.

Scythe · 27 Nov 2011 at 16:22

Don't allow this guy access to MM. Absolutely fraudster.

I panic bought them!
But I'll probs knock some system up, put them in and sell it.
I also have an Acer with a 160GB Sata so I'll take it out, put the 160GB IDE in and not mention it when selling.

Jay1701 · 27 Nov 2011 at 16:24

Well I'm not actually going to actually rip anyone off, I won't say if its sata or IDE will I

(btw I have no interest selling on the MM so don't worry!)

and how have I got ripped off?

And I bought three, not four. and I'm assuming the price was cheap because their IDE.

Is this the same guy who kept asking the same question about his ebay auction over and over again?

Is this the same Acer that was delivered broken?

Run recurva on each of the drives, see what funny business you can recover.
Always worth a laugh on old drives

Efour · 27 Nov 2011 at 18:07

Wow you got a real bargain there OP! If you need even older HDDs i have some 40gb and 80gb ones in a draw somewhere i can sell you.

Good deal?
1 x SP2514N Samsung 250gb 7200rpm
1 x ST316002A Seagate Barracuda 7200 160gb
1 x SP1203N Samsung 120gb 7200rpm

IDE, PATA 133
Paid £21 for them with £5 delivery at auction, and I'm beginning to regret it.
Have I done the right thing?

No you really didn't.

Are you sure they are even working ok? If they are IDE they wont use S.M.A.R.T protection, and its very likely they have bad sectors/will develop them soon.
