Hello, The above mentioned hard drive crashed on me and in an attempt to perform a recovery, I discovered it is not powering no matter how many different connectors I use. That gave me a conclusion its a fault with the PCB board. If anyone has a similar hard drive It would be of interest at the moment. Please look into your junk or new harddrives see if you can locate such a harddrive then revert to me. Thank you. Also note that a similar harddrive can be found in th Korean Hard drives branded "seven"
