Used hard drive

[kayden azagthoth]

Anyone have an idea where I could purchase an older hard drive?

Here's the story...

I have an old box that I am selling to my sister-in-law. It's a K6-2 500, 256 MB ram. The old hard drive got bad clusters in the boot sector, so Fujitsu replaced that 13G with a 20G 7200 RPM. My sister-in-law doesn't know how big the hard drive is, so I figured I could slap a 6-13 gigger in there and she wouldn't know the difference anyhow and I could keep the 20 gig to go along with my 40 gig! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

I've looked around locally and nobody has anything smaller than an 18 gig for about $139 Canadian. I'm looking to spend no more than $50 Canadian for a good working hard drive. It doesn't have to be 7200 rpm either, 5400 is fine.

Any ideas? Any reputable online companies I could search?

Thanks! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hello,

Small cheap hard drives do seem to be hard to come by. Have you thought about ebay?

At the pricewatch website , they list 20 gig hard drives start at $45.00
80 gig 5400 rpm hard drives are less than $100.00 now, so it might be worth your while to just buy a larger one down the road, rather than tradeoff 6-7 GB, which is nothing these daze
IMHO just give her the 20 gig drive, and save up for a larger one
