Hello all, I come to you again looking to expand my mechanical hard disk drive collection. Below is a list of most makes and models I am searching for. I am very interested in any examples of them in any physical or operational condition. This both appeases my desire to own such devices and will allow me to properly document their existence for the future. Of course, I can be tempted with drives not on this list as well. Let me know what you have.
Please, message me if you have any information regarding any of the following models:
