Hi All
i have a segate push-button backup drive, model number ST330060U12RK
does any one know what's inside it ( ie the drive connections)
story is ... its on the blink, i cant afford to get the data recovered professionally unless i really have to,but i need what's on there and wanna have a go myself,
if i send the drive back as faulty under thw warrenty i will lose all my data ( 200 gigs!) and I'm pretty sure its just the usb interface thats bust, ( ie the drive part is ok)
so
any one know if the actual drive in the housing of this external unt has normal connectors which i can connect to my sata interface on my motherboard?
also will the power connections be the same as in my pc ( standard drive power conecters i mean ??
or is the drive specifically designed to only work in the segate housing?
I want know if it will be a waste breaking the case open if i cant get my drive to interface anyway.
I would really appreciate any advice / knowledge on this
thanks in advance
Joe
