HDD enclosure Engrish instructions

September 10, 2009 - 8:04 am 15 Comments

After five years of sitting on the shelf, I decided it was time to finally discard the box to this external hard drive enclosure… then I found these instructions inside and had a good laugh. If CompUSA couldn’t write better than this, then it’s a good thing they went out of business!

Vantec Firewire800 Hard Drive Beeping Part 1

September 4, 2009 - 6:18 am No Comments

I don’t know what this is, and it’s really annoying.

I can force the HD to beep if I eject the discs. You’ll hear a faint two beeps (sometimes it’s only one) as the hard drive parks and spins down. This isn’t a clicking noise which usually is a mechanical problem and relates to failure. This beeping sounds more like a mechanical error with parking the heads. I’m just guessing though. Can anyone help?

Check Part 2 for even more drastic beeping.

Review: Macally G-S350SUAB “Mac G5 look-alike” External Storage Enclosure

September 4, 2009 - 6:18 am No Comments

This is a review of the Macally G-S350SUAB “Mac G5 look-alike” External Storage Enclosure….actually it’s more like a “hands on” than a review. This fanless enclosure includes an external power source, a firewire 800, firewire 400, USB 2.0, and eSata interface.

Overall I am very pleased with this enclosure. The thing I like about it the most is the aesthetic. It looks like a little G5 (as you can see).

Excuse the poor video quality; I’m awaiting a new higher quality video camera in the mail.

Vantec Firewire800 Hard Drive Beeping Part 2

August 26, 2009 - 2:09 am No Comments

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DabbaTZhN5s

This beeping happened when I ejected the firewire enclosure. And as it spun down the beeping kept going. I had to manually turn it off. This also happens when the enclosure is idle for a long time and then parks itself or goes to sleep. Power settings are set to NOT put disks to sleep. What’s going on here. Sometimes when it sleeps it doesn’t beep, but will always never come back from sleep and cause my Mac to beachball until I manually turn it off, wait a bit, and then turn it back on.

Hard drive is Seagate 7200.10 320gb. I’m not aware of the HD or the enclosure having it’s own power savings settings. Does anyone have an idea? The chipset of the enclosure if Oxford 934DSB.

Check Part 2 for even more drastic beeping.
