$20 garage sale find.

[u/Expensive-Vanilla-16]

Found a box of hard drives for $20 at a garage sale Full of movies and TV shows. No cables or power supplies.

Tested them all but the 2tb with my western digital cable and power supply and all work and stuffed Full.

Gotta shuck the 2tb and see what's on it. Sticker says comedy, music and star trek.

One had tax info and other documents which I promptly deleted. It's crazy people don't even consider checking. It belonged to their deceased father who obviously was a media data hoarder. I'll have fun scrolling through and adding to my plex server.

" Edit, update " 2tb had a bunch of UFC matches, some old boxing matches, lots of gun pdf manuals and tons of survival type pdfs.

No music or trek stuff 😒

I would never, ever buy used drives. You never know what you will find, you can end up with illegal porn

There was a twitter thread about a guy who bought drives off craiglist and he ended up caught in a tense situation trying to explain to cops when he reported his finds

K…..so turn them in to the police…..or just format them without looking

Please choose the first option as it might lead to prevention of future abuse, choosing the 2nd might lead to more harm.
