Hi,
Bought a Samsung 500GB 5400 RPM Single Platter Desktop drive before Samsung was bought out. Kept it as spare and never used it. Been sitting in my storage box for many years and even forgot about it.
Now my main drive is running out of space and going thru my stash I found the drive.
Is it OK to put this into action?
What is the usual Shelf life of unused drives?
