Ranging from 500gb to 3tb. I already run a NAS.
Open em up and get those wonderful lil magnets out to add to your magnet collection
This plus I use the platters as coasters around my house
nas, keep them around for backups, sell them online,
donate them to people in need?
Give me those hard drives (just kidding). You can host a big media server using jellyfin since you got a lot of disk space.
Stick them on eBay saying they might have had your old crypto.eallet.on them but they got corrupted and can’t workout which
wallet.dat
Another NAS!
Data hoarding is fun!
Backups ? Set up a nas for a friend or family member ?
NAS or media server for sure
Throw them in the electronics recycling container if you don’t need them.
Take them apart. It’s fun to play with the little disks inside
And they have cool magnets.
I used to have a lot of keys on my keychain and normally kept them clipped to a belt loop with a carabiner. To keep them from jingling too much I used to keep a hard drive magnet that I scavenged from somewhere stuck to them. Not all of my keys were magnetic but enough of them were and the magnet was strong enough that I could sandwich the non magnetic ones between the other ones and they’d all stick together.
It disappeared on me one day, probably stuck to some metal lamp post or something that I happened to brush up against.
I need to check how magnetic my current keys are to see if it could work, but I think if I ever find myself with another magnet of an appropriate size and strength, I might revisit that idea and put the magnet in a small leather fob or something to keep my keys from jingling.
throw them into the ocean
