Also considering this PC is running an IDE hard drive it's pretty fast and snappy. :o

Dirt 3, 11GB at 1MB/s, until I get capped. :dread: I think I'll pass on that till later.
Be glad that Steam has a backup system so you can write a copy to DVD'sQuote:

I've tried it through an external caddy and in my PC as well and just nothing. It doesn't receive power. Anyone got any ideas?
It was working perfectly until I changed the motherboards around and now it won't work at all. :-/
Put your ear to the drive and power it, does it make any sound at all?Quote:

Just had a look on the Samsung site and it's confusing as fuck, also takes you to Seagate.
I'm not sure how old the drive is, I think around 2009 at the earliest. Can't remember where he bought it from, but I'm positive it was OEM.
Also some woman on a Facebook group selling a 640GB Western Digital Caviar Blue SATA drive for £25. Asked her if it works OK and if she'll deliver. I'll take that off her hands.
Yea Seagate bought out Samsungs Hard Drive Division, so sounds like Seagate will handle it.Quote:

Try here and put what there asking for in, maybe you will be lucky.
If its OEM however... well eBay and switching the PCB is your only real option.... however its simple enough to do

Excellent, thanks for the help. I hope my uncle doesn't trust the drive when it comes back, so I get to keep it. :wacko:Quote:

This woman doesn't know if the drive works, but is willing to give me a refund if not. HMMM.
She offered me some form of cable box with a 500GB drive in it for £30. I told her I'll pass on that. :lol
Gears of War runs pretty nicely with high settings at 1280x800. :wacko:
State it gives no code there an option for it I think and you can state drive does not powerQuote:

Get the data off if you can asap just in case its a fluke and powering up occasionally, if you can that is.Quote:

I think it's possible I didn't have the power supply connected to it properly yesterday in his tower. There's so much shite in it it's hard to see what's what.
And I think my enclosure is just a piece of shit. :wacko:
Well get em to keep an eye on it for a week when you put it back in :P Just in case.Quote:
