Your hard drive has all sorts of information on. You are nuts if you sell or give it to anyone.

Suit yourself. Put it in a static bag.

Nothing that I would consider safe.

Even if it is formatted, the info can still be retreived. I would just as soon use it as a paper weight. I would never sell an old drive with the amount of ID theft going on these days.

Heed Grandpa's warning......dont sell it.
