Hi ladies and gents,

I've got a fairly new Transcend external 1TB 2.5" SATA that's suffered some damage to some pins of the USB cable connector. The drive is OK and I've been able to retrieve data using another external drive's SATA connector but I'd very much like to get it to work with the original case (the shockproofing is awesome).

So basically, if anyone out there has a broken drive with a similar connector, or a compatible casing, kindly get in touch. I've attached links to pics of the connector on the drive and the corresponding cable. Otherwise, if you've got leads on where I can buy a decent looking and well-padded casing please let me know.

I'd also like to share a lesson learnt; always disconnect the cable from the drive. This damage happened because I left it connected and dropped it in the bottom of my laptop bag, which I then proceeded to drop.

Regards,

Steve
