I can plug in desktop and laptop SATA drives to see if they come up. This allows me to at least pick out some of the drives that will not pass. Current scrap hard drive prices are less than my shipping cost. My last load, I didn't do this. I was hoping that it was just my docking station that was acting up. Would up costing me a little.

What he says is true. Right now if your using USPS for shipping for the drives I would probable stick to 500gb and higher.
