I got some spare drives pulled from older systems.

- Quantum 3.8GB Fireball TM (3840AT) - IDE
I formatted the drive and tested it by capturing around 16 minutes of DV 
footage filling the whole thing up and then playing back.  Looks good to 
me.  ScanDisk reported no bad sectors.  It runs on PIO/4 mode.  Asking 
around $30 or more.

- Conner 420MB (CFS420A) - IDE
Surface scanned with ScanDisk and all is well.  Maybe useful for a box you 
want to setup as a gateway, proxy, or whatever, but thats about it.  
Otherwise its a great doorstop, or something tho chuck out of a window to 
see what happens.  Asking at least the price of a McDonald's value meal 
(supersized). =)

- Quantum Lightning 540MB - SCSI
Didn't run a surface scan, but low-level formatted and verified media using 
my Adaptec 19160 SCSI BIOS.  I believe the drive was used to capture video 
a few years ago when it was actually considered big.  This as well can be 
useful for a small gateway/proxy, or if you have a SCSI case, you can hook 
it up to a multitracker that supports SCSI drives (thats what I used it 
for)

- Samsung 213MB (SHD-3211A) - IDE
It's small and it has bad sectors at the end of the drive.  Anyone who 
wants it can have it for free as long as they come and get it.  Could be a 
fashionable door stop, oversized ZIP disk, or bludgeoning device -- take 
your pick.

I will sell to the best offer I receive within a couple of days.  Aite, 
thanks for your time.
