I unplugged all the things drive related, power and data, and everything looked fine. No dust, no corrosion or anything that I could see. I did use a flashlight and a magnifying glass to check.

You nailed that one for sure. I just wonder how long a 3Tb drive would take. o_O I'm going to run it again tho.

I would think they would all have some sort of weirdness if it was that. Then again, things tend to pick on me a LOT. :/ >>> Now, what the heck is this about?

I have a SATA card in there. Actually, it was originally in that rig. I did make backups of the stuff I have room for. I just can't back up my video/audio files tho. I'll post if anything changes or I get around to testing the drive in the old rig. My garden and stuff sort of has me running. I picked three 5 gallon buckets of okra yesterday. O_O Dale :-) :-)
