Portable HD gasket removal

[PotoMac]

I removed the gasket from my Portable Conner CP3045, as recommended. It wasn't gooey and came off pretty easily. The drive looks pretty clean. I haven't tested it yet. Waiting to recap the Portable first and don't have the adapter to try the drive on something else yet.

What should I replace the gasket with, if anything?

You can probably use something like a silicone caulking/gasket type of material. I don't even think I replaced the gasket on mine when I had it apart. If you don't use anything, just wrap some tape on the seal to prevent dust.

Excellent. Thanks. Will do.
