I've got a 1.5tb drive that I want to erase. I know it has some bad sectors. I just want to write zeros to it once. I don't need DoD wipe methods. :) What's the fastest way to do this? What utility or command etc? TIA

My case is old so it doesn't have 2.5" bays. Hell, it still has a floppy drive. lol Ok, it looks like I'm going with 2.5" drives and an adapter. Anybody have any other recommendations besides the Samsung 870 Evo or is that the gold standard?

I am looking to get a 2TB and a 1TB SATA ssd drives but I'm having trouble finding any. Do they only come in the 2.5 form factor and I need to use a drive cage? Also which brands do you recommend?

There is some back story but I'll skip that for now. I thought my hd was failing so I cloned (clonezilla) the old drive (mechanical) to a new SSD. I had various issues but I finally got it to boot Windows. I had resized the C: drive with Gparted, but when I booted into windows it still showed...

Long shot but does anybody happen to have an old IBM Model M PS/2 keyboard cable?

Bumping this old thread to see if anybody wants to get rid of one.

Bumping this back up for just the Startac charger and battery. Here are a couple of pics.

So are you saying that most laptops (i.e. not "higher end") still use 2.5" sata drives?

1. What is the most common type of hard drive found in laptops over the past let's say 5 years? I don't think it is a 2.5" sata drive anymore. 2. Can someone recommend a universal drive adapter that will work with the hard drive above? Something similar to this...

Thanks but I want something a little newer.

Let's say between $350-400.

I prefer a HP Probook with Intel cpu in good condition. It should have a number pad , be able to run virtual machines, and be able to take a 2.5" SATA hard drive. Let me know what you got.
