Second-hand HDDs are usually a bad investment - they have a limited
lifespan, so if someone else has taken one out of service, it's probably
used up quite a bit of that life...

A brand-spankers SATA laptop drive can be had for about £30. I simply
wouldn't bother looking for a used drive.

Vic.

p.s. I've replaced two SATA HDDs this last weekend. Neither was over 2
years old. I have a suspicion they don't last like they used to...
