You sure they are SATA drives?

Typically those servers are SAS drives, so it wont work in your PC if so

For $10, sure. The case alone is probably worth it. 

Agreed

I want to learn about servers a little and also need one of the hard drives for my pc 

@Electronics Wizardy

What do you mean "learn servers"? Any computer can be a server. There is nothing special about a "server" unless it has specific software, in which case you mean you want to learn about that software and not necessarily about servers. For $10 it's probably good, but it will be loud and power consuming. I do not recommend it if you do not know what you are getting into.

Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.
