It's still operational today if you go through the hassle of connecting it , real trooper that drive thumb.gif
Ack.

I'd like to point out that if it were a WD drive, you could RMA it. I'm not sure if Seagate accepts "broken connectors" as a valid RMA reason, but WD does - quite a few people on overclock.net have done that and returned drives. tongue.gif

Ignore the hate towards Seagate, I have two Seagate Barracuda 7200 2 TB and a 1TB.

The WD Green drives really don't have all that great a reputation. I really would not get one of those.

They are fast and reliable. Even my old Seagate drives have never given me any trouble. Generally you will experience higher failure rate the more platters a drive has, generally once you get drives with over 2 platters.

So I would recommend the Seagate 2tb that you have in your OP which can be had for 99$. I do have it and it is a fast and quiet drive.
