I didn't say it from the start for simplicity's sake, but actually, I am |
| 21 |
using a bracket like the one you said, and the reseating was needed at |
| 22 |
the bracket's eSata (external) port. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I think that there are specs for eSata cables and ports so that the |
| 25 |
connection between them is made secure and doesn't get easily loose, but |
| 26 |
in my case, either the (external) eSata cable or the Bracket's ports (or |
| 27 |
both cable and bracket) do not follow these specs. |
