Excellent - Only comment - do the the green brackets come with a new hard drive or should I leave them inside the case for the next owner - Removing to donate to recycling

Step 2

Identify the Hard Drive in the case.
If there is more than one hard drive installed the process is the same for each hard drive.
Remove the power cable from the hard drive by squeezing the side tabs in and pulling gently.
Remove the IDE cable from the hard drive by gently pulling the ribbon cable out.
