Thanks, that's good to know. I have seen great prices on external USB drives 
in the past and bought them to take out the drive and use it directly, now I 
will be more careful about doing that.

It used to be I was taking a chance on the drive being PATA or SATA, now 
there's another possibility :-(

You had a typo, I'm not sure if "fols at WD" was "folks" or "fools", both 
would probably be appropriate.

I guess you can't blame them for doing whatever they can to reduce costs, too 
bad the savings don't usually get passed on to the customer.
