looking for....
MRE
can get it to work at all..
Currently, the drive case only has one screw in it, as I am constantly
taking the cover off to observe failures, or to manually de-park or
give it a jump start...
So, if anyone has a large volume hard drive laying around I could
certainly use one for less than shop prices. I WILL pay something for
the drive ;)
I am too poor to pay new prices unless its a smoking deal.
I have two external bays. One has a completely dead drive, the other
has a failing drive.
One will accept either IDE or SATA, the other is SATA only.
Dead drive was 100GB, the failing drive is 350GB.
If you have one, or come across a really good deal somewhere, please
let me know.

might be able to help you out.
I'll check my box of old drives tonight and see if I have something
that would work. If I do I will let you know and bring it on Tuesday
night.

on data loss...which reminds me to do another sysback!
yamada denki in shibuya has some great deals
I can't believe you are using a drive with that many errors!
You need to replace them and backup when SMART thresholds are hit if
you don't want catastrophic data loss.
I had a new drive crap out on me like that after less than a year,
others I've run much harder for much longer np.
Western Digital seem pretty solid.

I checked US pices and they are cheap.
If prices here are close, I ought to be able to manage.
Both are mostly recycling data... (mostly movies and tv shows) not
much that I cant stand to loose.
So Im not worried much, cept that they DO hold back ups of system
drives.
so atm its the backups that are toast.
Drive two only this week started going. Drive 1 never held critical
data.
RE data loss:
I find it a bit unsettling to contemplate just how intangible our
thoughts, memories, knowledge and history has become.
On star trek they visit a mysterious ancient ruin. miraculously the
library hologram still works, and slowly they put the pieces together.
what happens a thousand years from now? all our books were recycled
into kindling, yet all the batteries in our Kindles have long since
drained...
some alian race comes to our burned hulk of a planet and finds some
landfill hard drives where our libraries used to stand, and the
summation of human knowledge is locked in some series of mysterious
boxs labled 'internet server'.
Who were we?
Nothing more than intangible data?

For the answer, at least one possible answer, I refer you to the
writings of Leó Szilárd circa 1948:

is a 200Gb IDE drive, which I am reformatting now.... all the other
ones where less than 20Gb. I have a SCSI drive from 1997 of
undetermined size. Yes, I am king of the old technology.
Let me know if you are interested in the 200Gb, if you are we can work
something out.

I once had an Amiga, with a 540 megabyte scsi drive. that was fat
storage back in the day.
It was like.. I had 600 floppy disks all at my fingertips!!!
