Honestly keeping 40 dead drives in a crate is just clutter you're paying rent on, you're not a museum. Those 2014 Seagate 3TB units were junk from day one, so labeling them like they're evidence in a case seems like a lot of work for a pile that's never gonna do anything but collect dust. If the data's gone, it's gone, and a sticky note with a client name on it doesn't change that. I'd toss the whole crate at an e-waste place and free up the space under your bench.

Would that helmet also fit over a ball cap if you need a light clipped to it?

Warm soup with strangers sounds nice but is it really changing your life or just a decent Tuesday.
