Hello! I managed to buy my first Caviar!! It's really cool!!, very different from the other units... And this Caviar is in such a condition that it looks like I was the first person to use it. NO scratches on the cover, perfect bearings and no bad sectors! What I bought is the Caviar 2420 425mb With the pink stripe! I bought it for more or less Converting directly to the dollar, something like $56 with shipping.
That's amazing to hear! I'm very glad you were able to find something that nice, since I remember you mentioning before that it's pretty difficult in your location to find anything reasonable. No bads and great exterior condition? Can't get better!
That's probably because the cover is off so the top of the headstack isn't supported. WDs will do this if run without the cover too, at least the ones that even work at all like that.
