Off.
I remember the moment of realization and watching it drop. It hit squarely
on the corner. Seems like that was the real death knell, rather than a
displaced or glancing impact pattern, maybe a speared-headed impact pattern.
It doesn't spin.
On cannibalization I noted that it had decent shock absorption built in.
So the electronics is now my incidental USB hookup for SATAs.
I'll be buying enclosures separately in the future. I like WD but a seller
on eBay is telling me that Hitachi has the best powering/performance
economy, a big consideration when hooking up a USB drive to a laptop when
power is scarce.
