Dug up some 2TB Constellation ES drives that I had found at a salvage/recycling center a while back. Wanted to see if I could get them working, so I took a shot in the dark.
1st drive - Physically damaged! Was not able to complete a full format and ended up just getting rid of it.
2nd drive - Passes with flying colors (and 16K hours)! Have not fully tested it but I hope it works.
3rd and 4th drives - Passes, but CrystalDiskInfo complains about them having reallocated sectors. I'll test these more another day.
These were cool finds, but probably not guaranteed to last me 5 years. 1st one dropped dead and the 3rd/4th ones I will need to inspect further.

| And pictured here are the drives that at least work. The ! marks the drives that have reallocated sectors. Also I still need to clean. |
I am also aware that seagate isn't exactly known for being reliable. We'll see how this goes.
Did I also mention I probably lost a good chunk of REM sleep doing this?
