    Are these scsi drives worth anything?

    Here are the 2 drives I pulled from the sun server I got last week. I didnt want to hijack a thread so I started this one. Lookslike one is a 2.1gb and other is a 9.1gb.

    I looked them up on ebay and didnt see any completed that sold. I guess I could put them up for 10 bucks see what happens.

    The first one is worth money. The 2ed one not so much but it is.

    I would list them onto ebay. Hard drives are best sold on e-bay if you can test an sell them as working units. Make sure IN the ebay listing that you LIST the SN of the drive. So when they get the drive they know they have the same drive that was listed....an so you know they sent you back the SAME drive if they open a ebay/paypal claim on you.

    Whats the metals in these? I have scrapped discs for the Ali & for projects.

    Once I heard that the discs are plated with a high priced metal, so I used some HCL acid to remove the Ali disc & ended up with a thin greyish shiney metal plating. Interesting.

    The discs are coated with platinum if they are a silver color
