I had posted this to LEMswap before, and I received replies from two interested parties. It was at that point that I realized I had made a bonehead mistake... the HD was still installed in a computer that was in use and could not be shut down because of a job that could not be interrupted without loss of data. D'oh! The computer has finally completed the task, and the drive has been pulled and is already boxed and ready to ship.
This is a working pull from a 3.2 GHz MacPro 8-core, that was replaced by an SSD. It's an Apple branded OEM drive: Western Digital Caviar WD5000AAKS-41YGA1. It has been zeroed out and reformatted, and fully tested using HardDiskSpeedTools. There are no bad sectors, and the actual measured sustained read/write speeds are ~110 MB/s on files up to 100MB, which is PDQ for a rotating disc HD. These appear to be listed for $100 and more on eBay, so how about $45 shipped by Priority Mail. I accept PayPal and USPS money orders. Feel free to make an offer.
