IDE vs SATA: the board grade changes

Older non-SATA HDD PCBs have paid more per pound than SATA.

The local take

Look at the connector before you mix the totes.

What to do next

  1. Count desktops and laptops — five is the usual minimum unless I’m already on your block.
  2. Say if TVs are included. They are quoted.
  3. Book a pickup or use Hillsborough CCC / Pinellas drop-off for two intact items.
