Expanded HDD newbie here - need help

[FOLIO3]

I got a pair of server drives from an auction at my office:
HP 286776-B22 404714-001 36.4GB 15K U320 SCSI Hard Disk Drive | ServerTek Ltd ::: Server IT Equipment

I had an idea of creating an expanded drive that I can either hook into with my laptop or save it for a pc build anyone got anyideas on how i could best use them?

They are too small for anything like data storage... ?

15K drives?
Those are for storing *smallish* amounts of data that a computer would need to "constantly" access (e.g. - SQL database that is consistently being written to).

They're performance drives, hence the small space.

...and I just realized this thread is from September of last year.

no problem thanks anyway for replying. Is there any point in keeping them?

Unless you plan on running a small server, no.
15k RPM drives are always on/spinning.
That is great for servers, it wastes electricity for regular end users.

If you do elect to keep them, Win7 has symbolic linking.
Or you could mount the hdd to a folder instead of a drive letter.
You could transfer a game/app that may benefit from better load times.
