Cloq:
What to do with older HD's?
I am slowly building up a random collection of 74, 160, and 300 GB sata HD's. They are probably 3~7 years old.
I really don't feel comfortable in giving them to someone who will then use it and probably blame me when it fails.
Wish there was a place that would give you a small discount for recycling them.

Heh! Funny you should say that. I am still trying to get a couple of HD magnets off a storage cabinet at work.
Renegade:
Playing with magnets! Oooh! Fun! :D
I'm planning on trying to make a Johnson Motor once I have time. Should be fun. But I'll just buy the magnets instead of ripping apart old drives. :D
Probably the best thing to do is to securely wipe the drives then destroy them. And play with the magnets. ;D
