Hmmm …
If you were here, yesterday’s, you’d’ve read I’d making to uninstall, and wipe, a 2 terabyte hard drive: one I had used as media storage.
So … I have an extra 3·5”, two terabyte, internal SATA drive sitting around, in usable, and verifiably working condition. (It’s the externally mounted drive labelled ‘UNTITLED’.)
Notice I say ‘verifiably’.
I took the thing into the Brentwood branch of CeX, yesterday: so I could sell the thing on.
To be told they couldn’t take it, as it didn’t show up on their testing system: or in the caddy they used to connect hard drives to their testing systems.
I got very politely assertive: pointing out the thing had — literally — finished being wiped that morning, was fresh out of my own dock, and in a format that a PC would be able to easily access.
They double checked their system: with one of their own stock of drives.
Turns out their enclosure was knackered …
Wouldn’t you know it … ?
