Ah well thats good to know. Ordered the Mi Vacuum cleaner and got non sealed pack. I think they will cancel tomorrow or I will ask to cancel

Just gave all possible inputs in a single post, thanks. I assumed if it did not spin up, this could be an issue

If you are operating within standard parameters, and if the compressor has extended warranty - most usually have 10 years or so, why not ask to change the compressor under warranty?

If this is the same drive which you are facing issues with - please go ahead and do if the warranty is not void. If some other drive - If the usage is low then it would not be of much use. If high usage then, yes. Sometimes you may need to tape pin 3 (or correct pin) to make it work

If not the grounding issues then issue with charger not making connection with the socket properly. Check if other devices are charging with same charger. If yes then the issue is with wire as well possibly.

Mine had 4 DDR3L RAM slots, one of the M2 slots was for WWAN (had a Huawei 3G modem) The GPU was MXM module, can be be upgraded to newer Firepro, had some quadro. Good laptop for workstation, was used for NX

Yeah Didnt have issues with mine, cant recall if Seagate or WD. In some cases, the pin needs to be taped off. WD USB powered cant be seperated from HDD - rest all can and have the SATA port exposed. +1, spinup/spindown is another, especially if done frequently.

In for 2 at least, would take 3. Would prefer smart ones, plus at least 1 SFP 10G Should be 5-8 ports Funnily, I was thinking of importing this along with some other stuff along with @anmolbhard004

Use something like R-Studio, make an image of the HDD and do recovery from that. Since the HDD is getting detected, this would be the cheapest and the best.

Its a black horse according to my group, however I have not taken since too much CC for now.

Whats the usecase? I would buy the cheapest and check first.

Thanks mate, my point exactly. attach power/usb and then after 5 secs remove the power and move the HDD slightly - if you feel an intertia pull due to the rotational, it means the HDD is spinning up. In this case, shuck the HDD and connect to SATA directly - assuming this is seagate, will...

Your testbed at home. Can be a desktop PC, can be a laptop, anything goes.

True, but I think he was adopting a worst case scenario.
