if you want to save a few bucks by buying somebody's 10 years old drive with 80K hours on it go for it, I don't sell used drives, it's not worth the hassle when they are outdated with many hours good grief, I am not that poor to need 20 bucks a drive, pay ebay 15% fee and ship it and break...

unless you have illegal porn that's a long way to go to blank and old drive to sell, what do you think somebody is going to do, buy it and start doing and FBI deep dive into whats on the drive? LOL this sound like paranoia to me and hiding something

why would you install windows, enable bitlocker and then reinstall again, sounds like too much work when free programs can blank the drives if you want to sell them why would you sell and old drive you will get a fraction of what you paid that line of thought baffles me, if youi want to sell a...

bitlocker is fine for your laptop if you take it out but for a home setup with a low theft rate it can also be a pain if you need the recovery key

If you have the coin a 4TB SSD and they will likely keep growing of course Yes, anybody at home that needs a 20TB spinner has a ton of porn, nothing else takes up that much room unless you have a huge movie collection you actually want to watch again and again spinners are fine.......just...
