Don't know about every MyBook since the models change regularly. The MyBook I use the drives aren't encrypted, and I've actually swapped and upgraded the drives in the enclosure several times.

Did your SATA settings change from AHCI to IDE?

If it's 10 years old I wouldn't even check: just replace it.

The 90-degree end goes to the drive, not the motherboard.

The bathroom has the only grounded outlet or the only GFCI outlet? If the place really is that old, then I'm willing to believe the former. I just want to be clear on what we're talking about.

Did you initialize/format the new drive or is it straight out of the box? You need to create a volume on it first in Disk Management.

Do we still like Eneloop after the brand was sold to Panasonic and the manufacturing/technology sold to Fujitsu? Are Panasonic Eneloops still the way to go or are Fujitsu's rechargeables now interesting?

Camera flashes are the only devices I've used AA or AAA batteries for in probably the last 10 years, so that's about all I care about.

HalloKitty posted:No drives use 3.3v (actually, maybe some 1.8"), but you should be worried, there's a mounting pile of evidence that the fully moulded type of SATA connector from cheap sources (poor quality control, lack of gold plating] are likely a hazard waiting to occur, years down the line.

Yeah I found a picture of the motherboard for that machine, and the CPU is socketed so in theory any CPU in the same family with a similar TDP should be fine. HalloKitty is right though: it's likely the graphics chip that'll hold you back. Just get a PS4 at that point.

Friendly reminder: when swapping modular power supplies, swap the cables too unless you're absolutely sure they're compatible. A coworker brought in his dead PC to fiddle with and try swapping the power supply. Unfortunately, he swapped a Corsair with a Thermaltake and didn't change out the modular cables despite the printing on the cables that said something like "Corsair TX series only." Next thing I knew there was magic blue smoke billowing out of his PC. His two HDDs and SSD were completely cooked, but it looks like the rest survived. We're going to try PCB swaps on the hard drives today to see if we can get the data off, at least.

If you decide to go that route, I’ve got a set of these Netgear powerline adapters that I’ll sell you for cheap (like $20 shipped) since I’m moving and never really used them. Let me know and I’ll make a thread in SA-Mart so everything is on the up and up.

I’ve dropped a lot of hard drives in my day, and as long as they weren’t powered on at the time they’re generally fine.

Failing that, you could always look at a Ryzen build if your projects scale well across cores.
