I have an old external HD that I never used, still new in box, unopened.

Western Digital My Book 2TB USB 3.0. Has AC adapter. Decided to sell but have no idea how much these older plug in external HDs are worth. Model WDBYCC0020HBK-AESN.

Thanks

  $50, if even that. There’s no guarantee the drive or controller still works and if it does, whether has any defects. Not really worth a gamble with no warranty on a slow mechanical drive in an SSD-era age. It’s only if someone really really wants that particular model.

  Yeah honestly not much. I got a 2tb WD portable drive from my local Australia post shop on clearance for $49 recently.

  As you mentioned AC adapter the price plummets as it sounds like a 3.5" drive. 2TB can is on amazon for $55 or name brand from centrecom for $99 and NO AC adapter.

  So $30 or $40 if you are lucky and they are okay with a brick size HDD that needs an AC adapter.

  I only asked because I have a much older drive and when I researched prices I was amazed by how much people were paying. A friend said it was probably because it had an independent power source.
