need small old hard drive

[bbosh]

I need a small harddrive, < 40 MB, preferably ~ 20. I'll pay for it and shipping (within reason) so please email me if you're interested. Thanks in advance.

What type of HD do you need?

[chrisjk]

Might be an idea to contact schools and big companies near you as I find they tend to keep hold of their old equipment for resale

[denniswrenn]

Why do you need it so small?!?!? :confused:

[Zevlag]

Well you're about 1 1/2 weeks late in asking.. just sent about 12 of em to the nearest thrift store...dang-it

Damn. I've got a 20mb ST506 drive, but no IDE I'm afraid :(

[CyberSurfer]

WOW! That's an old drive!!

[parksie]

Yeah :)

It was the first hard drive we ever had, bought for our Archimedes ages ago (back when computers didn't need a hard disk to start up :rolleyes:). It's using a 250mb IDE drive now, though.

what kind of machine is it your putting it in too. Isn't that funny back in the day there were a over abundance of smaller drives (20mb - 2gig) and now you can't seem to find them anywhere? I have been looking for a 2gig for a year now and it is like they all disappeared. I read that the big companies are trying to figure out a way to recycle old computer equipment. If they are not recycling now then where is all of the old equipment? just food for thought.

thanks to everyone who responded, but one of my coworkers can get ahold of one for me (for free). so once again, thank you, but unless something goes wrong, i won't be needing another.
