Why would you want them? Their huge! They take up an entire 5 1/4 bay
man! ugly things.
if you really must have one, find a junked HP or compaq, one of the
little ATX jobbies. it's in there.

Help me keep this drive working long enough to rescue data from it...

One can never be sure when it comes to you.
torrents yet? I should have asked if you even do the torrent thing before
suggesting them... My bad.
I use BitTorrent. Just learning the ropes.

Hopefully Ubuntu will have one...

http://utorrent.com/ it's actually faster than the rest and is only
around 180K.

Nice! A co worker has one as well, We have it setup for NAS work.
Essentially, it's connected to a clone computer which runs naslite.
Maps the drives to our lan.
They don't have a sense of humour either. I'm very familiar with the
program, it's been one of my favorite debugging apps since the DOS
days.

Sweet. First, dump bittorrent, next, get utorrent.
Some sites worth learning:

Snag yourself a copy of peerguardian2 and keep it updated before
torrenting. While it doesn't prevent 100% riaa/mpaa persons from seeing
what your xferring, it goes a long long ways.
One of the most important.. ehh, rules of torrents. If you download a
torrent, you should keep your client open so that it can return as much
as you've leeched to other people who haven't already got it.

I've done it successfully to recover data on a Fujitsu MPG series drive
which had the failing Cirrus Logic chip (a google will tell you more),
but had to use several cans of freezer spray. The drive's owner was
very relieved though, as it contained the only copy of her PhD thesis.

Try Spinrite?

If you can source some dry ice somewhere, you can try keeping it chilled
long enough to copy off the data.

Now that's a good idea, just set it on a block of dry ice, keeps your
hands free.

Hi Dustin, that's rubbish.
Revision changes will be of no harm as these changes have never
caused any changes on the power circuits!
Those power changes would have also caused a partnumber change!
Revision changes only reflect small functional electronic changes.
A company only knows replacement parts by partnumber but never
on a revision level for the SAME partnumber!

Have a small fire extinguisher handy?
Make damn sure the boards are identical if you do this Penny, no
revision changes.. Absolutely must be identical. Alan is pulling a
fast one on you.

Yep. Doesn't take the 12volt and 5volt circuits to cause a short,
either. It can be done with less voltage and the end result is the
same, one toasted drive...
For many drives, the logic board needs to be the same, preferrably same
model # if at all possible. What people decide to do regarding how
close of a match it is is there business, it's someone elses data your
putting at risk.

Thanks for the recommendations (and the entertainment).
I was able to recover all the data from the drive. I discovered that if
I:
- booted from another drive with the ailing drive as slave...
- waited until all disk activity settled down...
- opened the top-level directory on the ailing drive and waited for
disk activity to settle...
- opened another directory on the ailing drive and waited for activity
to settle down...
- do this with another directory or two...
.... then, about half the time, the drive would then remain running and
usable for hours, until the next reboot, when I'd have to try this
ritual again.
So this gave me plenty of time to recover data from the drive, and I
was able to get everything off it.
I still have no idea what kind of drive failure would result in this
behavior. I'm guessing maybe the drive had become incapable of handling
lots of requests at once.

Because of most people's lack of reading comprehension, like yourself.
Have fun explaining:
"What's especially maddening is that when I boot from the SeaTools
(Seagate diagnostics) CD, it analyzes the drive for an hour or more,
and the drive remains online throughout. So I know the drive is capable
of working; I just don't know why it works for the diagnostics but not
for me! "

You also may want to try SpinRite, from GRC.com. It has been known to
save many dying harddrives and its not that expensive.
