What a day. First I get my new case..; ( Antec nine Hundred ) and while setting it up, I accidently bent one of the pins ( the middle one ) and found i not longer could connect the sata cable. I tried bending it back, but i could only get it close and the connector just won't click or hold on.
For the life of me, I don't understand why they make these drives with such flimsy pins for connectors. They are copper i suppose,very small, and flimsy, so not much room for any errors conncecting or disconnecting, where I had issues. I am normally pretty darn careful, but now I suppose i have a useless drive.
Not being too knowledgeable about these drives, I am confused as to what the longer connector is. Can someone enlighten me? Can i hook some other cable up to this and use it, or retrieve my data?
I was going to get another Sata drive this coming month anyway, and i guess i surely have to now. Hope this one i have left holds up till then. :confused: :eek: ;)
