Hello all,

I can bring a few SATA3 drives to the next meeting for any who wants 
them.  Clean S.M.A.R.T last I checked.  These were mostly used for boot 
(root and home) and archival copies. I did an refresh recently to larger 
HD and NVME. These might have a few good years left.

Seagate 1TB     ST10000DM003      2015-02
Seagate 1TB     ST10000DM010      2017-11
Seagate 1TB     ST10000DX001      2015-07
WD      1TB     WD10EZEX-00WN4A0  2016-02



It still feels weird to me how cheap storage has become.  My first HD 
out of pocket was 30 MB and cost ~$400 IIRC around '94? so I could 
install Slackware and Win3.1/DOS dual boot.
