You get what you pay for

...and this looked like a bargain. I bought a one terabyte external HD, made by a good-but-not-great nationally-recognized brand, from a large national computer chain that was going out of business (guess which one). It was marked down about 15 percent.

That was three weeks ago.

Now, it's dead.

Eventually, I can pull the drive, which is probably still functional, out of its enclosure, which is not functional, and perhaps use it as an internal drive or something.

But I ordered another new drive tonight, this time from a top-tier manufacturer.
