[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1739948, member: 175845"] I'd say it all depends on what data is on them and what you might want to do with it or worth recovering. You could try using a different compatible external enclosure or one of the cheaper adapters and see if they work, and they might even need a sharp whack on the side in case they may be suffering from stiction or whatever. If they won't work for you, I doubt that anyone would bother wasting their time to access anything if you just discard them. Or pull them apart if you don't need to data and salvage the strong magnets from inside and make decorations from the platters. All kinds of uses for both. ;) - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
