Hard drives as christmas presents

[lerninlinux at comcast.net]

I went into one of my "junk" stores the other day and helped them with a few things,  I asked them to save me some dead drives for the magnets and some battered cases for the motherboard trays.  She gave me a drive that she said was dead, the note on it said hanging during format.  I was going to strip it until I noticed it was under warranty.  If I verify that it is dead I will need a "approved" shipping container, so if anyone gets a Seagate hard drive for christmas and are wanting to get rid of the box, let me know.

Thanks
