I am getting rid of all my smaller drives (120Gb to 160Gb). Prices on Ebay for Maxtor 120Gb drives are in the $33 range plus shipping. These are IDE hard drives that have basically been sitting in storage, holding Final Cut Pro files. I power them up once every six months or so (either because I need to or because it is time). These hard drives all have less than 100 hours of use on them. These older hard drives have a reputation for being more reliable than the newer higher capacity ones.
Here are the hard drives available:
WD 80Gb 1
WD 120Gb 5
Hitachi 160Gb 1
Seagate 160Gb 4
WD 180Gb 4
WD 200Gb 2
Seagate 200Gb 3
(WD stands for Western Digital)
I will sell for $.275 per Gb and will include a removable Genica IDE Mobile Rack-Extra Drive Tray that will fit hard drive swappable enclosures. The trays are like the ones here:

The trays will be either black or beige – sorry, I cannot change them. If you do not use removable racks, then the hard drives can be taken out of the trays and put in external enclosures or put inside your desktop computers.
Examples of removable racks and external enclosures that can accept these hard drives are numerous. Below are just a couple of links to such products
