Re: Did the 12 year old Seagate Drive work? The answer is... - RAMd®d - 12-20-2024 I've had several Seagate power bricks fail in the last 5 years. I've never had a Seagate external. Now I never will, that that I would have otherwise. I had bad luck with their internal HDDs awhile back, and cut them loose. Re: Petty pedantry. - hal - 12-20-2024 A dying power supply is not an unusual issue, but it is often misdiagnosed. Re: Did the 12 year old Seagate Drive work? The answer is... - RAMd®d - 12-20-2024 A dying power supply is not an unusual issue I suppose not, on a global scale. In my limited sphere of experience, it is, though. That's to say I can't recall everyhaving a dead power supply, that I didn't kill. Two MB supplies were killed by my tossing a jacket and sweatshirt on them, allowing heat to build up. OWC to the rescue. Another power supply died when I overloaded it. That is it, over decades of electronic gadgets with power supplies, external or otherwise. I hear of them dying in desktop computers from time to time, just not wall warts. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I don't get around much anymore. Glad you checked, saved the drive! Save the drive, save the world! |
