I don't have a breakdown but I like to take them all the way down and get the 3 lil motors and low grade board.Quote:

are older drive boards richer than newer drive boards ?
Don't know if they contain more precious metals, but some of the older drive boards are a lot bigger, the same size as the drive itself (about 5" x7") and weigh quite a bit.Quote:

but in general they should bring the same as green motherboards, and depending on your hard drive board buyer you can clean and slip a few of the shorter length cd rom drive boards in with the hard drive boards like 10-20% by weight, never had any complaints mixing a few in. Laptop cd rom drive boards all of them go mixed in in with the hard drive boards.
i got a bag rubber bands i put all the same together i feel as it makes easier on them sorting cheap investment to help buyers .my opinion
I break them down they have four to six screws takes about five of them to get 1lb about 1 min of time thats $4.05 in the bank plus your motors and rest is shred.
I break em down. My guy buys the drives at $0.15 a pound or the board for motherboard price.
