Wanted small 2.5" hdd for an old laptop to run Volumio music system. I have looked and they all seem to big for my purpose anything 8gb or there about would do, has anyone got any old ones lying around would pay for P&P etc

What details on the laptop?
Hard drive have an IDE or Sata interface?
Under Windows Manager you can always make a larger drive have a smaller partition, etc.

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.
I might have something, not sure, will check later. It would be very old if I do, and definitely IDE. If I still have it and it works, you are welcome to it,

I have two IDE drives, 6 and 16 GB. I just checked and formatted them and both seem fine. If you want either or both, PM me with your details and tell me your wishes.

Thanks guys I need 2.5" sata drive, all I need is a small hard drive to work in an old laptop running Volumio music player and would just run headless and in ram. Hope this makes sense I have looked for hdd's and they all seem to large for my purpose. I have set it up with an old 1tb but just seems a waste as its not doing anything apart from booting up.

Can the laptop USB boot unattended?
That would be my thought, if everything is in memory. Get a small (physically small) USB stick.
Just had a look at Volumio web site..... Very versatile and flexible open source music player...
