I purchased a 320gb Maxtor Sata HDD from MSY on 21 July. I've used it several times in a HDD caddy (via usb), and it's been fine. Today I went to plug it in via my SATA/IDE->USB cable (similar to this), and I heard a pop sound come from the power supply. It sounded like a short circuit. Then a second later, I saw smoke coming from my HDD
The motor was not spinning either. I tried plugging the HDD in to my PC, but the computer won't even boot up! I checked the power supply from the SATA/IDE->USB thingy (with an old IDE hdd) and the hdd spins, so the power supply ain't faulty.
I have GBs of photos on there (some, but nowhere all, are backed up on dvd). I've been reading up on replacing the PCB and am more than happy to give that a try. I'll go out and get a HDD today - as long as I know what numbers need to match.
Here's some pics -
