trading out external hdd's

[deadone]

some varied comments indeed which is understandable.
i might look into it as the hdd was a cheap one anyway and shouldnt cost that much to post out with insurance attached to the cost.

its got me thinking now lol

What has to be said once more is that copying things to a HDD from your personal HDD for a trade will help save you hours if not days (!!!) of time and frustration. That DVD-burning for larger trades is so time consuming and annoying.

there is one more disadvantage except the possibility to get lost the HDD there is a big option the HDD to be damaged some or maybe most of them easily destroyed after a few knocks and shaking.

For me the best way to trade is to send an Solid State HDD which is a little expensive but it's more more accurate.

I have 7 external HDD's I choose some lower sizes ( iff get lost or damaged, the hurt in mine wallet is less )

Done twice now a trade to sent and resent and for me very good experience.....packed in a TNT small box with bubble sleeve around, and for sure the HDD can't move in the little box, there is always a change for getting lost but I have done now many trades and over the years I have lost 2 packages. (of course later with a resent, except to Jorge when I was helping for the vine, but never got the package @ his place.

So for people who wanne make a trade with me , I am in for HDD trading ( dont forget mine HDD are from broken laptops where I grab the HDD out and put in external protect cases with USB connection and tested on working , some are 80 GB and one is 160 GB. so shows on it are about 15 to 20.
But sending more then one is offcourse also a opportunity

maybe sometime soon jw we can work something out.
i also have a couple of old pc's with a 40gig and 60gig hdd i think.
didnt even cross my mind to use these. if they do get lost in the post its no real loss as im not using them anyway.
how would i connect these and wipe them clean as dont have all the cables for the old machines now.
