I think that the controller is really part of the drive anyway; I don't know that changing the enclosure would help.

Hahah like landing a plane!.. "Push the green button, the GREEN button you EEJIT… Now you're off to Mars!.."

There's a USB<>IDE controller inside the enclosures. I think that's the thing that's gone. Hence getting power and spinning without issue.

[mclaincausey]

Ah, yep, that makes sense, though hopefully it'd be SATA of some sort to USB.  If it's an IDE drive, I'm guessing the platters are toast and would be wondering how it lasted so long

[Snowy]

coughs ahem, yes of course I meant SATA ;). (I spent 1/2 the day looking @ SSD, SAS, NL-SAS, and SATA for work and I still messed it up, lol )

[mclaincausey]

Dude just joshin. I'm old enough to have IDE and EIDE etched into my brain too. I love how they expect us to call it PATA now. Yeah, right.

Hey guys, made an impulse purchase as the clock was ticking down on an auction. Please share your thoughts, and I know it goes without saying that frankness is expected.

Very nice, not too broken in so it will age really well, good purchase.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks. The youngest it could be is 1971 I think.

Is it wrong to ask the ex-girlfriend for a bit of "action" 2months after the actual break-up? ???

[JCMx800]

Haha Rafa IMO you should not ask for some "action", ask her if she wanna see you again or something, and when everything feels right between you both, your "action" will happen Do it like a true gentleman.

[mclaincausey]

Depending upon the nature of the relationship, sometimes contacting them at all basically is sending that message, no need to come out and say it.

[bagley920]

Unless you actually want her back, said "action" would not be worth the shit storm afterwards if you hit it and quit it

[Seul]

Don't do it.

[Megatron1505]

Hit that ass

@Seul:

Don't do it.

@JCMx800:

went that route first, then she said no and that it's still too early etc. then i went all in, said what i actually ment with that question, she smiled…and said no! damn

@bagley920:
