External Harddrive does not work
My I/O Magic external drive does not work. I purchased a new power supply but the unit still does not come on. The unit blinks every second but does not stay on and I don't hear any clicking or movement of the hard drive. Can I take this unit apart and somehow save the Hitachi hard drive?

Hi:
Hitachi hard drive are junk they are poorly made, but here is an option the could by a bigger hard drive and install it in the External case they are all the same, first take out the old HD from the case and take it with you to the store and purchse the same connection type wether its IDE or Sata and install it in the case, the cases are universal and all most all 5-1/4 inch HD will fit in the case is does not have to be A Hitachi Brand any brand will fit, I recommend a Seagate HD.
