DVR Hard Drives and resale..

Alright..probably gonna get yelled at by the class for this..but what the heck..I've been bored all day. Might as well create a bit of excitement.



For the resale folks, buyers, whoever..

My Direct tv guy dropped off some older receivers to me earlier today, an I broke one open a little bit ago an pulled out a 180gb IDE HD..my question is, should I just scrap it like I do most of my HDs for the boards, etc or is there a resale value there I'm not seeing?

I did search, found a thread or two on it, but I couldn't find any real value on them other then PTS saying they were great hard drives.

So..regale me with your wisdom an let me know if this should go in my pile to ship out whole or my pile to break down.

Thanks ahead of time an sorry to bother with such a question, but I'd like some up to date thoughts on this.

I would save it for resale or even personal use. It will work in any computer no problem and is actually not bad. Im still usign a 160 gig as my main os drive on both office computer and tv computer. Storage is a nas home built with 5 160's lol.

5.95 is cheap as hek, although i didn't look up the shipping charge. Might look up a few local repair shops and see if they'll want em

Ok..An bear I really don't deal with ebay, hence the not thinking of checking there an asking here. I don't have the patience for the twits you attract on there. lol.

Mech thanks for doing what I shoulda, an Ozzy thank ya for letting me know they'll work with most computers an the other info. I'll give it a shot on my local CL, worse case, it goes in my box to ship out for whole drives.

An this is why you are all awesome. When I need a question, I get my answer an a little wit!

I was only suggesting you do what Mech did for ya, check there and see if they're sellin ; ) Local is probably best, CL you can probly ask $20 each, local repair you might get ten

Yah, just didn't think about it, as I don't use it. Silly I know. Brain far, brain sneeze..whatever you want to call it.

It's all good, either way I should've thought of it. I still woulda asked though, cause as pointed out..nothing there! Sometimes you guys know things even ebay doesn't.
