I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.
1 chickens
I'll take 2 1 chickens plz.
That's what you need to sacrifice to the demon lord's of the Bit to get a drive

Much appreciated! I ended up ordering from Newegg, which had much more sensible filters. I had originally purchased what I wanted from Amazon, but the first one I got, ordered refurbished, had clearly been shucked and replaced with a 160GB drive from (IIRC) 2008 and the second one, ordered new, started audibly clicking one day into use.
For some reason (described by Amazon customer support as a "server glitch") Amazon had a really tough time with the return of both of them. This drive is meant to back up a RAID attached to my file server, so I didn't want to continue tempting fate by continuing to leave the server un-backed-up, which is why I was trying to find a place I could pick up one approximately the same day. I wasn't able to find such a place, so I went with Newegg because it seemed like a bad idea to keep trying Amazon.
Don't look in the filters for pots.
Alright, let's do some math.
According to a quick search, chicken wire weighs about 0.07537 lbs/ft^2 (sorry for using yeehaw units). When building a chicken run, you need about 10 ft^2 of ground area per chicken, which will use around 50 ft^2 of chicken wire, give or take. This comes to 3.7685 lbs of chicken wire.
Another quick search shows the average hard drive is about 1.38 lbs, which means the average hard drive has a capacity of only 0.366 chickens. Which makes the 1 chicken capacity drives quite competitive, really.
Just be careful, it might weigh your case down quite a bit.
Well, you've sold me on it. I'll go buy the one chicken drive now.
