I can only suggest what I do here: have at least 3 identical drives, cept in sync, on 3 different computers, so when one dies I can just pull out the next one. I keep my old X61/T61/T470/T480 ... exactly for this reason - and has saved my arse a lot of times. And I have a "server" that runs FreeBSD + ZFS mirrors that I turn on to move data to cold storage (BD) and halfe-frozen mirrors. I'm afraid there is not alot you can do on your drives, either the mainboard killed them, the mainboard is faulty, the drives re bad ... whatever, no use investing more time on tkem. That is, if you have verified your USB-SATA-adapters work with different drives on a different computer :) Nik > > > Bill > > > > > > > > > ____________________________________________________ > tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ... ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
