    first load of hard drives came in

    first load of HD came in about 9:00 pm tonight . just got done unloading them. will take pics tomarro. we have at least 2000 lbs probably more along with 6 more servers for me. looks like the last servers are going to scrap out at a little over $100 ea.

    I did see a future problem. most of the newer IBM HDs have glass disks. when punched the glass splinters into 1000s of tiny finger slicing shreds.

    Doesnt your buyer send you certification of proper destruction when shipping in stuff following HIPPA? might wanna ask about that and save you the cuts.
    Born to think, destine to succeed.

    these are all from a military contractor, and are all wiped and punched before we get them.
