I have pile of WD Green Power HDD, pulled from some vista DVR's

 

popping them into a windows machine, a handful are recognized with "disk management" but most ain't

 

WD drive utilities does not recognise on of the working drives-

However a Hik NVR will recognise the drive(s) & store data on it ?

 

odd...

What do you want to do with them?

 

just sorting out the swag pile,

 

I wanted a 2nd hdd for works cctv's & got carried away & now have more than a dozen

 

I have some used PSU's but not the correct one to repair a wbox branded hik nvr (£58 for a psu) so binned it & held onto the toshiba 2tb

 

I've wheelie bin full of dvr cases & knacked speed domes, 

 

I'm also hoping I've case fan which is suitable for a HP switch as mine is quite LOUD
