Notes
artag has 3 at home (having arrived at a price from the ebayed drives, I'm now buying these - artag).
All now been dban'd. All also formatted as single ntfs volumes.
In the large brown cardboard box that contained the smaller white boxes that the drives came in, I've refilled the smaller white cardboard boxes with all the parts they origonally came with (usb cable, esata bracket esata cable, psu, manul, cd, case stand).
If the white box has '750' written on it in green highlighter then it's got a known working, wiped and formatted 750Gb external drive with all the bits in it.
There is one 400Gb one thats missing a usb cable.
We don't have any more white boxes or extra bits so there are a few 400gb external drives sitting on the other box.
So all 8 750gb drives are ready to sell.
