Old cable TV and satellite boxes often have hard drives, I think I used to find 500gb drives in there. But they have TONS of usage. I think I paid $1-2 for them.

Ayuo, i have a great time scavenging fetch boxes from hard rubbish. Lowest sized drive in those is 1tb

Yeah, old DVR boxes were pretty fantastic when you just needed a lot of storage. They were one of the few places you could reliably find 1TB drives, back when those were still fairly new and expensive.
