Well, but with dban and/or other certified software the drives are as well as new. The
only issue would be the time/cost to sanitize them in house.

cool old stuff accumulated by the previous sysadmin. There's a big
carton full of PATA hard disks. Most of them are in the 4.3 GB - 20
GB range, a few larger, a few smaller.
Anyone have any use for these? You can have them for the cost of
shipping, or free for local pickup in Bothell, WA. They're going to
be recycled as scrap if I don't find a home for them.
I'm surprised that your sysadmin is allowing this to happen. Many large outfits have
a policy of sending any hard disk, regardless of content to the industrial shredders.
