If you have the name (I suppose you mean the model) you can easily look them up on Google or your favourite search engine. And if they're still connected to the PC, well, Windows already know how big they are :)

Not to mention that if it's in your hand the size is printed on the case... Is it just me or does this thread have all the earmarks of a spam post setup line?

If you can plug the drives in run and download SIW from http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html (the standalone version is great). It will tell you loads of stuff about your system - including HD serial numbers.

Yeah, that's what I thought at the beginning, but Google didn't found nothing.

Yeah, that's what I thought at the beginning, but Google didn't found nothing.

Also, the capitalization of every word is different from normal spamming methods, as well as the second post to add a smiley that requires you to click on the [more] link to find. Not to mention that Mrs.D has customized her profile with a signature, location, Bio, and user icon.

I think it's a genuine question.

Yep, i also did an extensive search when i saw the post, and couldn't find anything related.
It's strange, nevertheless :)

Wanna post the information that you have? That would allow some of us search guru's a chance to look for the information...
