I recently decided to upgrade the hard drive in one of my older servers from an 8Gb Western Digital Caviar from '99 to a faster 80 Gb Seagate Barricuda, and this leaves me with a fairly useless low capacity drive.
Any ideas on what to do with it? |

By a case for it and somehow turn it into a usb drive. But it would be the hugest usb drive ever.

I was thinking maybe an external hard drive, but I would be better off buying another 80 Gb drive for $40, and using that. But if I did that, I would buy the same drive and set up a raid system instead. |
