[QUOTE="Zilch, post: 1084548, member: 21666"] I agree with Trompie here. I've recovered hard drives from old, broken hardware (e.g. and old fat 2006 PS3) and they tested fine. I've used laptops from the early 2000s with IDE drives that had no issues. And remember, you can very easily recover data from a mechanical hard drive. You can swap platters (as well as some EEPROM) to another identical drive to recover data. SSDs do have a chance, but hard drives ars superior in that regard. That said, for my main laptop I will always prefer a SSD. But remember to backup your files! [/QUOTE]
