While sad, this is sort of funny. It confirms my thinking tho, a hard |
| 19 |
drive screw is not a hard drive screw unless it says Dell, Gateway, WD, |
| 20 |
Seagate, Toshiba etc etc etc on it. This means I may have to buy one of |
| 21 |
those divider thingys that is larger just for me to be able to keep the |
| 22 |
hard drive screws separate, since they are different. |

We have reds, purples, greens and all sort of color codes for hard |
| 25 |
drives, maybe they need to color code their screws as well. :/ |

Now to go find a grab bag or something. This sucks. |

P. S. It seems those older not working enclosures may have caused issues |
| 34 |
with my drive. I'm having to dd the first one, redo the partitions and |
| 35 |
still having issues getting it to work. May be a doorstop when this is |
| 36 |
over. |
