Hard drive problems are never good

I had some computer problems for the last few days.  Somehow I hit my hard drive with something and made the hard drive fail.  I decided to purchase an identical Seagate Barracuda drive (ST3500630A).  But the firmware was different:  the new firmware was 3.AAE and the old was 3.AAF.

This Seagate drive board removes easily and doesn’t have a wire harness.  The last picture shows the old 3 drives.  I guess I dodged a bullet.  I am glad I did not have to download all my files from Mozy.  If you want to MAKE ERIC SOME MONEY? click the link then purchase something.

Hard drive problems?

I have had some bad hard drive problems in the last couple days.  First my replayTV (5000 series) hard drive crapped out.  Then while fixing my replayTV hard drive I somehow made my other hard drive start smoking.  Not really cool and not very much fun fixing either.
