Nyone removed HDrive out of External Kit?
Has anyone removed the hard drive out of a Seagate 'Free Agent' external
hard drive kit just to use the hard drive? I bought a deal, ~$95 on a new 750 gb Seagate FA with 5-year warranty from Office Depot, and don't wish to expose the hd to the heat in that enclosure. I am leaning toward just using it as an internal hd. Any ideas, pro and con? Thanks, sdlomi2

Normally, warranty is on the complete unit, not just the "main" component.

Good point, if the enclosure has some type of disassembly security sticker
on it, you may void the warranty. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 __________________________________________________ _______________________________ "smlunatick" wrote in message ...
