Found myself a Porsche

huh. I didnt know those were made by porche. I had a whole stack of those things I worked on and got rid of. some with good drives, some with bad.
I have one of those too, FW400?
LaCie made a "Porche-designed" CD/DVD burner as well (I have one + enough parts for another).
I generally like it, but with all the internal drives I have at my disposal, I don't really have much use for it.
Though they're always handy to keep around, just in case.
Anyway, that hard drive looks really nice. Kinda makes me want one....

Yeah, the PSU connector is mini DIN. I was using mine for Time Machine backups on my Mac Pro.
yup most ide. i had 2 that were SATA.
You can run your Porsche on Jaguar if you have 10.2!!
Great drives. I have an 80GB and have been happy with it over the ten years I've had it.

CC, did you buy that burner off me by some chance? I know I sold one to an MLAer!!
More of a Mercedes-Benz guy myself, but one of those certainly would compliment my G5 nicely!
Love Jags, but a Barracuda's easier to come by . . . the drive anyway. :Nice findWould love a Jaguar myself, but they don't make hard drives...
Is there any provision for airflow at all? Is the case made of metal, acting as a heat sink/radiator? Sounds like Porsche, given the wall wart, there wouldn't be all that much heat to dissipate, but curious as hell.

Well there's the true Porsche design for you. Looks pretty but doomed to overheat. I sure wouldn't use that enclosure for anything but an SSD.
I didnt know these had any interest, or I wouldnt have tossed the stack of 30 or so I had, Obtained them for disposal from P&G.
All of them but 1 had a bad power brick, they suffered from the capacitor plague. Thats the one big thing to watch out for on these. the bricks go poof. most were 500GB models, couple were 320GB. I remember a couple of them being SATA, and remember a couple of them having fried controllers from the bad power bricks.
