Bad Drive Blues - AVERTED!
 
#5
Luckily for you you caught it time, unfortunately for an acquaintance of mine they didn't. For their rig's power supply failed and autopsying the remains has led me to the opinion it took everything else with it. An opinion made clearer once I pulled the PCBs from both drives - chips on both drives have released their magic smoke!

So now I've got the fun task of tracking down replacement boards for five year-old Western Digital HDDs or finding someone who can pull data off 'em, cheep!
