Found a seller online selling a 1TB laptop HDD with casing for about 15 USD. Says everything is alright with the HDD, it is from Seagate and 3 years old. I have tried looking up at how old is too old for HDD but I understand there is no definite answer for the 'use'. But would it be advisable to 'buy' one which is 3 years old? I barely have any experience with this, so please do help me out! Thank you!
