    Sell them and buy low budget low power consumption disks that would fit my purpose.

    Enterprise-grade usually has enterprise-grade power consumption. From the power saving alone you can buy nice stuff.

      Please do not sell used enterprise hard drives, especially if you got them from your employer. This is how those emberrasing company secrets get leaked and we can’t have that can we? :)

          Yes, they should have been wiped. (and then they should have been fed into a blender if i had my way.) :)

    You don’t say what the capacity is or how old they are. They might not be worth using.
