the wonderful world of escalating technology
...so no one really needs a 16G USB Flash drive, right?
No. Of course not.
*sighs*
But
One one hand, progress is awesome. On the other--okay, how many of us need:
A.) A Bullet Proof Flash Drive (for all those international spies on my flist?)
B.) A Survivor Flash Drive (for all those survivalists with robust broadband connections in the wilderness?)
*squints at the first one* When I say "You will take my internet porn over my dead body", I am seriously not being literal.
Also, ordered a Passport External hard drive. I have no idea what to do with my other external if I can't get it to connect up. Theoretically, one can get the disc out for recovery, but that sounds disturbingly expensive.
OTOH--it will take me a really long time to replace what I have on there.
No. Of course not.

From:Depending on where you go, it can be expensive.
But if your only problem is getting it to connect to your laptop, you can always go out and buy an external hard drive case (if you live near a Best Buy, go in and pick up one of the Dynex kits, they're reasonably priced and if this doesn't work, completely returnable as long as everything comes back with the receipt).
All you have to do is open the current hard drive case and unplug the hard drive from it's internal connections. Put it into the new case and viola! You now have a new power source for your hard drive as well as a new connection line as well.
If that doesn't work - and again, you live near a best buy - go in and ask one of the techs to do a backup of the drive. It's fairly inexpensive here in Canada (about $50), and I don't think the prices vary too much in the US. Besides that, if they can't get the information off the drive for you, most typically they'll refund all or part of the labour fee you paid.
