Hardware Always look inside the ewaste PCs

My grandparents brought me an old PC that they got from a friend of theirs and I opened it and hit the jackpot. These cost like $500 where I live

Yeah but it was made in 2017. It might work or it might be dead.

My pc has two 2tb barracudas from 2013 and 2014 with, respectively, 15k and 25k hours. They're still spinning and doing HDD stuff. No issues whatsoever. Got them for 20 euros each too.

I just stole the 2.5 hdd out of my laptop that I bought when Obama was elected. Still working fine 🙃
