The hard drive in my Iyonix is years into borrowed time :-(
But what are my options for replacing it?
- Old stock PATA drive, long out of its manufacturer's warranty;
- PATA to SDHC adaptor, life of medium highly questionable;
- PATA to SATA adaptor, SATA drive; if anyone can find one that works;
- Boot off SDHC, thereafter use a USB drive;
- any more?
I use a 2.5" spinning rust USB drive on the BBxM, which is my second
computer, the Iyonix still being my first. The BBxM has been very
reliable, but I haven't used it nearly as much as the Iyonix in terms
of quantity of data transferred.
Suggestions and experiences welcome. I can't be the only person who
would like to replace a drive before it fails.
Dave
