MessedRocker asks Slashdot What to do With Old USB Keys, Low-Capacity Hard Drives? “I have at least a few USB flash drives around that I haven’t needed since I got my 16GB flash drive, a 40GB external hard drive which I haven’t needed since I upgraded to 500GB, and a couple of SATA hard drives I have pulled out of laptops which are either as large or smaller than the one I have in my laptop now. Furthermore, I don’t really know anyone who needs any hard drives or flash drives. What should I do with my small, obsolete storage devices?”
