| 1180891 | 2011-02-22 22:04:00 | I am buying some hard drives off someone in Christchurch, will they be worth it after the earthquake? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1180892 | 2011-02-22 22:11:00 | Personally i wouldn't buy them, as they are more likely to fail, due to the Earthquake. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1180893 | 2011-02-22 22:34:00 | Bullcrap! If they were not installed and/or running at the time of the quake, they will have no more chance of failing than any other HDD in the country. EDIT: I would also add that you might need to request proof that nothing fell on them... |

| 1180894 | 2011-02-22 22:50:00 | They are not installed, two of them are still in the sealed anti static bags. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1180895 | 2011-02-22 22:57:00 | As long as they were not running at the time of the quake they should be fine....though there are chances of some fragile internal components being knocked about even when stationary. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 1180896 | 2011-02-22 23:21:00 | Oh now I am confused | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1180897 | 2011-02-22 23:24:00 | Shouldn't be worst than the way courier agencies handle them - if you ever worked in their operation centres, you'll know what I meant. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1180898 | 2011-02-23 00:07:00 | Personally i wouldn't buy them, as they are more likely to fail, due to the Earthquake. I sense a trollolololol :banana |

| 1180899 | 2011-02-23 00:17:00 | haha you are not the only one who thinks that | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1180900 | 2011-02-23 01:37:00 | Yeah I doubt they would have had any treatment worse than what the courier would do to them. That is why I prefer to pick hard drives up when I buy them... |
