But 7200.11 vs N40P? or 7200.11 vs Toshiba motor failure?

Hi Gurus, A friend asked if I could modify a USB hard drive to have a pink activity LED, I possibly went a little overboard. Hope she likes it! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5un_GkwjCs Keep up the fun postings! Tim. p.s. anyone else having fun with Seagate 750gb and 1TB seized bearing - I get 1 a week! |

Thats cool. If I was you I would stick it on ebay! I also think you might have too much spare time on your hands. I havent had a 750 GB or 1 TB motor fault yet. Had plenty of 500 GB, 3 in last Tuesday with the same model/part numbers. Gotta love those Seagate 7200.11. Easy money. |

Turns out I don't have as much free time as I thought - it took me 9 months to finish!? I had two 500's (7200.10) last week with sheared spindles so the platter was rattling in the casing... the bearing must have seized in a hurry! |

Sounds worse than it is usually! Sean |
