    Being a retired computer engineer. And had been in the field for many years, had a lot of good luck with Western Digital hard driperiod, external and internal. No problem purchases one for anywhere. Idle box brought it back home. Hooked it up to what I was using it for and had no luck. It was awful. I'll never buy Russian digital again. You all took care of the issue and I purchased a see gate hardware.
