I’m finally upgrading to a 1 TB SSD and i’m not sure what to do with the ol’ HDD. some say they convert theirs into an external drive which sounds easy enough, but are there other potential projects?

    Haven’t really used spinning disks for anything but my home NAS since 2010 or so. Which means all my old drives come out of the NAS… And either get cycled into my backup NAS or put into a multi-disk jbod enclosure that I use as “scratch” space for random data projects I’m doing on the side.

    Ones that cycle out of scratch space are wiped and, if I’m being honest, sitting in a stack in my storage room. I really should stop procrastinating a trip to the recyclers…
