I wanted to run a data destruction app on 4 old HD's and recklessly used a modular power cable from my new Corsair with a 5 or 6 year old Thermaltake Toughpower 700w. The 2 hard drives connected to the new cable didn't show up so I disconnected them. Later I tried those 2 HD's on the power cable that did work. Neither shows up. Also, if I old them in my hand during start up I don't feel any thing (and normally I think it is easy to notice when the platters start spinning). So should I throw these away now or is there anything else to try?
They are 1gb drives and still somewhat useful. If there is a chance to save them I would like to try.
