Our take
If you're maintaining vintage systems or require drives with an IDE interface, this lot of 12 WD and Maxtor 3.5-inch hard drives is a rare find. The 7200 RPM speed and 8MB cache are respectable for IDE drives, and the listed 500MB/s read speed is noteworthy. While capacities of 200GB-250GB are small by today's standards, they're perfect for older builds. The hot-swap feature is a pleasant surprise for an IDE drive, adding a touch of convenience for compatible systems.
