Yes. It is very sad. I was fond of that drive; it is such a pretty enclosure. It has, atm, no data on it what so ever. I am still messing with it mainly For Science.

Although possible the enclosure is bonded together (glued), many are just screwed together allowing you to open it up and replace the drive.

Mail stalk! Two packages (flavours and such) should arrive today. They were on the big island last night. And one package is ALREADY HERE it was not scheduled to swim over till tomorrow. That would be the scale and muji, so not actually wildly exciting, but very necessary.

That's three down, two to go, and then I will let my credit card cool off a bit before peeking at any more shiny things.

It is of the bonded variety. Eh, I'll just get another. Now that I think of it, Time Machine was complaining about it a year ago. I told T M not to be so silly; it was much too pretty to be failing, but the scales have fallen from eyes. It is toast, at least for anything halfway important.

Flavor rabbit hole is pretty deep, best hide/freeze the cc.

What are your storage needs? You can get a 1TB or 2TB USB powered drive fairly cheap -- I have a 1TB WD Passport drive that functions well for portable storage/backup. I've also had a 5TB seagate desktop expansion drive running for some years (has a separate power supply) -- it is connected to a Raspberry Pi that functions as a network available drive, Plex server, and a two-way sync for some of my cloud storage.

Many are uneasy storing their sensitive (or not so sensitive) data in the cloud, but just realize the same cloud storage solutions that your financial institution, medical industry and even your governments uses is the same cloud storage solution I use to store pictures of my cat!
