I have recently received an old 2008ish hard drive that was barely used from a friend. The Hard drive has a review from tomshardware from back in the 2008s (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/Seagate-Barracuda-1.5-TB,2032.html) It is the same serial number same storage. On the other hand, I already have a 1 TB hard drive that is a Toshiba 2017 that is normal nothing out of the ordinary. So my Issue right now is that I have all my SATA power ports occupied by two other SSDs, and I have one left for use. The Old hard drive is larger makes a little bit more noise than the newer one and is generally hotter. I don't really mind power usage. Is it worth using the old hard drive as opposed to the new one? I have cloned the new one into the old and both are running fine I have yet to benchmark them but I was wondering if it is worth it moving to the older hard drive. Are there things I need to know for drives made in 2008. I don't have anybody selling the Toshiba hard drive online it came from an HP Gaming desktop.
