Re: Access to an external HD
Thanks for these ideas, Tod. I'm familiar with the sort of SATA drives you picture and I have the necessary interface device for them, but this is not one of them.? It's a type I haven't seen

Re: Access to an external HD
This is a rotating platter HFS+ disc.? I have not bothered to reformat my old drives.? I already have DW from the days when it was my go-to repair mechanism after a crash / accident / whatever.?

Re: Access to an external HD

Re: Access to an external HD
I've had many externals of different brands "die" and by removing the drives from the cases found the drives themselves were perfectly fine and gave years more service. ?The cases are not made to be

Re: Charging anomalie after 15.3 update
The OS isn¡¯t very accurate in this regard. That¡¯s why Coconut Battery exists and is so often recommended. Coconut Barrery is highly accurate. __________________________________________________

Re: Charging anomalie after 15.3 update
Point taken, Randy.? I was puzzled, tho', that the OS is claiming that the battery condition was "normal". Keith

Re: Access to an external HD
Thanks to everybody for their thoughts. I think I'm going to try WD as my first stop.? I live in France, so using recovery services in the US might be problematic - as well as expensive!? The disc

Re: Access to an external HD
That is a freaking insane amount of money to pay for a data recovery. After you have paid that much you should contact the police, because you¡¯ve been raped. "$300 Drive Recovery"

Re: Access to an external HD
HI If the data is really important companies DriveSavers can open the case and extract from internal platters. If you decide to that route, I have a 10% coupon code you can use. The aren¡¯t cheap -

Re: Access to an external HD
I do not know the answer to your question, Keith, but I¡¯d like to suggest that you ask Western Digital. They once replaced a MyBook product which failed after nearly 5 years. All I had to pay was

Access to an external HD
I have a WD Elements SE HD which has failed.? The way it has failed leads me to suspect that it's the electronics (USB interface?) rather than the platter / mechanism which has failed. Inside the

Re: Charging anomalie after 15.3 update
It turns out that the 15.3.1 update seems to have fixed the problem.? For the moment all I can say is that since I did that update the problem has not recurred (yet?).? But taken with the fact that
