heres his write up on them

SEAGATE ST3500312CS PIPELINE HD - SATA 500GB Slimline 3.5" HDD

Drives are as new, pulled from stock DRX890 Sky HD boxes to be replaced with larger size drives! All drives have been error checked, de-partitioned and formated ready for use.

As well as being ideal for PC use, as they are quiet with low energy use they are ideal for use in HTPCs, NAC raid enclosures (I run a bank of 4 in my QNAP raid nas and its quiet!), as an external HDD or in PVR / DVRs etc. They can also be used as a upgrade from a smaller 160gb/300gb HDD in older Sky HD boxes to reduce noise and increase recording capacity on the cheap - 1 of these drives will give you a 2.2 x increase in the personal recording space on a stock Thompson/Pace/Amstrad/Samsung Sky HD box which is currently fitted with a 300gb (160gb personal use) drive.

£40 each, inc recorded delivery payment via paypal is fine

delivery to mainland UK only, others may be extra
