Anyone want my MyBook brick?

Working on the router this weekend, I tipped over my MyBook.  Not dropped, threw, kicked, shot, punched, smashed, or nuked, I just tipped it over on its side.

It’s now a brick.  I understand hard drives don’t like g’s, but **bleep**?  I’m 0-2 on WD external hard drives over the last five years.  Maybe I’ll take my chances with a Seagate product this time.

Hello,

The drive was operating when it happens? If so, keep in mind hard drive are one of the most delicate technologies on the market it has parts really fragile.
