Quantum Fireball 3.5" Internal Hard Drive EX64A013 – 6.4 GB IDE

This listing is for a vintage Quantum Fireball 3.5" internal hard drive, model EX64A013, with a capacity of 6.4 GB. It uses a 3.5" form factor, 5400 RPM spindle speed, and an IDE (PATA) interface, suitable for older desktop systems and retro/vintage PC projects.

I connected this drive to a Linux system and ran a full destructive surface test with the following command:

badblocks -wsv /dev/sda

The test completed with the result:

Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors)

This means that at the time of testing, the drive was readable/writable across the full surface and showed no bad blocks in that test.
