Hello,
a friend recently gave me 4 internal hdd's he used in his office and i am interested in making them external with an enclosure(cheap solution for getting an external).
However he mentioned one of them was at 70% health (2,5") and he isnt sure about the working condition of the other 3 (3,5") . What can i do to check them , what things should i consider and in the end how can i know if it is really worth making such a "conversion" (i found enclosures for as low as 4$ on ebay)
