Hello my computer aficionados! Can anyone help me identify this very vintage computer hard drive? I have no clue how to list it on eBay and I know a lot of ya'll are really well versed in this old stuff. Thanks guys!

That is a Seagate ST-251, probably from an old IBM computer judging by the plastic bezel.

Crap! I saw the ST-251 but I didn't even know that was the seagate logo. I can't believe I got "google is your friend"ed. I'll pull my head out of my...
Thanks fellas!

Yep right out of an old ibm...I would recognize that type of bezel...theres that word again....anywhere. they were pretty much all black back in the day and had the indicator light for the drive on them.
WOW it's been a long time since I have seen / used on of those... Those were one of the best drives in there day....
That would be good on Ebay or Vintage Computer Forum
Good Find
It went for 5.99 on eBay plus 9.99 shipping and handling.
The full story is even funnier!
