The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

Hello fellow hardware hoarders collectors! :D

Does anyone have any mSATA SSDs to spare? (AKA mini-PCIe) These are the older standard. Not the current M.2 style. I'm trying to resurrect some old Atom devices. They need to be at least 16GB, but larger would be appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Hitachi 7200 RPM 2.5" 300 GB laptop hard drive pulled from X230 many years ago and just kept in a drawer.

Its in a Rosewill USB 2.0 enclosure.

Priority flat rate box shipping is 10 bucks.

Anyone want a set of six very old DTC 2278 cards? I bought these ages ago to resell, sold a couple, put the rest in storage. I don't need them and might just toss them, but if anyone wants these for some retro builds, then you can have 'em for the cost of shipping. I have two complete with all cables and four cards only in box. They are untested, and might have a few bumps. I made images of all the driver floppies that came with these and put them up at the internet archive just in case.

Edit: These are currently pending.

I ship from California and would prefer it if you could send me a UPS or USPS label. I -prefer- to ship them all to a single person, since I don't have time to go mail stuff every day. Please PM me if you're interested, or these go out to the trash in two days.

Dang, I wish I would have seen this earlier. I have a 386 motherboard with a dead controller card and people on Ebay want stupid money for those. Guess I'll keep looking.

Don't have any spares at the moment, but I discovered the Samsung external T5 SSDs actually have MSATA SSD's inside them. I bought a few the other year to tear apart and harvest the MSATA drives. Might be bigger than you need though - I think they came in 250gb / 500gb / 1tb. Anyways, at the time, the price for one of those external SSDs was half the price of buying a Samsung MSATA outright (since they are scarce now) and even a bit cheaper than buying a sketchy nameless chinese MSATA on Amazon.
 
I have 5 of these 3.5 SATA Seagate Barracuda 500GB hard drives (as of right now) that I'm looking to get rid of. All are in good working condition. They were pulled and wiped when we upgraded to SSD's. I may be able to get more as we continue to upgrade.

I have them listed in my FS thread for $15 each, but figured I'd list them here just to get rid of them. I'm thinking I'd do $10 shipped for each drive, using the padded flat rate USPS envelope which is $8-$9. I'll work with you on the price if multiple drives are bought.

If you're going to send those drives in a flat rate envelope, put them in a sturdy box with extra padding before doing so.

Those envelopes are good, but they get tossed around a lot. They get treated like a box because of their dimensions so they're not safe to send stuff in on their own.

Yep yep, it'll be one hard drive and the rest bubble wrap. Don't worry, they'll be packed appropriately!!!
 
Acer Monitor. 22" or 21" (not sure but I think 22"?). Has DVI or VGA connectors but I will also include a DVI to HDMI adapter. I'm in Michigan, 48314. Local only, you pick up.

I'd take that. Let me know if you need me to prove I've given away stuff.

Also I have intel stock coolers still for free and a DP -> mini DP adapter.

Not sure how the Toshibia works but I use concreate tiller in to hold in Lenovo hard drives. I cut a 2.5 ish inch piece and stuffed it in the gap to keep it from sliding out.

You mean IDE. SCSI was extremely rare in laptops, I've only ever seen two laptops with SCSI in them and they were both Apple.

I dug around in my Toshiba parts pile and didn't find any IDE cables. You may have better luck asking on VCFed.
