☠ Captain Arcee ☠<p>A few weeks back I found these SATA laptop drives in a dumpster behind a once abandoned third party apple repair store. I finally got around to using <a href="https://retro-gaiden.com/tags/gparted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gparted</span></a> to wipe all of the drives so that I could use them. Here's a photo of the drives I found and wiped</p>
