Resuing an old HDD in a new build

[spookr]

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to post this but I was wondering whether wiping my 4 year old HDD (https://www.mwave.com.au/product/seagate-st2000dm006-2tb-barracuda-35-7200rpm-sata3-desktop-hard-drive-ab85968?gclid=Cj0KCQjwybvPBRDBARIsAA7T2kgOnjJR6YGXtnN-UkjHnG5n24DNTcVHsvZygbfVQ4Ej9KoBogGy__AaAslYEALw_wcB) would be fine to use in a new system, I also have a 250gb ssd and a 500gb ssd for games, the OS and such so the HDD would just be for basic mass storage. 

So yea, essentially just want to know if 4 years of use is just not worth keeping. 

Thanks

it'll work just fine, remember to look out for warning signs of failure and make regular backups of important files.

use it as a backup drive. Backup your SSDs to it for redundancy
