This is an old article I have yet to publish that I am finally getting too.

So my friends have a joke that they could take gadgets that I have laying around and I wouldn’t notice it for years.  Sadly, I am fairly certain they are correct. 

Well in those piles of gadgets, I have about 10 old drives that are just laying around.  I want to use them, as that is the best option, but alas I have very little use for 5-8 year old drives with 16-40 gbs of space.  I keep reading these articles in hopes of fixing that problem. I am not sure it can help me, but I think you (my readers, I hope) could benefit from this article. 

Let me know if it does, or what you did with your old drives.
