just got a new 500 gig sata hard drive, plugged it in, turned on the pc and smoke started coming out of the drive!!! ahahahahhhh
i unplugged it str8 away, and u can see slight blistering on the bottom where it must of got hot inside.
Any ideas as to why this happened.
It says about putting the jumpers on to limit it to 1.5G mode, but i didnt,
Could this have caused it>???
Do u reckon the drive is now buggered or should i try it with the jumpers on n see if it works???
Cheers Lee
