PLACE YOUR BETS - I just found a brand new in sealed box USB3 1TB Seagate Had drive with copyright date, 2012... WILL IT - hal - 12-18-2024
This is a 'desktop' drive - not a bus powered laptop drive.
This is what the retail box looks like:
I seem to remember buying these to use as internal drives and wanting to use the case for other things, but the cases were such a pain to take apart, I only took one apart. Used one as a TM drive and just threw this one in the closet. This was the era of uncertified USB3 drives - apple's first usb3 computer came out in 2012.
The side of the box says Compatible with WinXP, Win7 & Win8 AND VISTA (forgot about that one)
I'll open it up in a few days and post results

I can beat that. I just found a 400 GB internal Ultra ATA drive in my closet. I’ve no idea when I bought it.

I still have some Seagate 750GB 3.5" internal PATA drives, new in box. Bought them in 2008 thinking it would be good to have to max out some of my old hardware when it became clear that these were probably the last PATA drives manufactured.
And I've still got some stock of HGST 2.5" 1TB SATA drives, stocked up on them when the price low around 2013 to keep my old Intel Mac laptops going.

That reminds me: I've got a still-in-shrinkwrap Western Digital 5000H1U 500GB External USB harddrive from 2008 sitting on the "Vintage Computers" desk (between the Beige G3 and 20" 2007 iMac). I have no idea what to do with it, or how I got it. I suspect it's from work: I have a dim recollection of a directive coming out circa 2009ish that made external harddrives forbidden, but I had already acquired one - so they just let me have it (I think...the memory is very fuzzy).

my brother has my oldest Ableton Live work drive in his 1999 "Jetsons" iMac, still spinning. It had a lot of time on live events before I put it in the iMac.
120G WD Caviar PATA, 7200.
It's not a dd, but it still works.

those were selling for insane prices for a while - you could have retired early :-)
