The USB 3.0 interface on the 3 TB MyBook I bought failed almost immediately, connecting only as a USB 2.0 device after just one day.
Since then, I bought a different enclosure, removed the 3 TB drive from the MyBook, installed it in the new case, and have been using the drive as a USB 3.0/eSATA device.
I had already bought a longer cable for use with the MyBook. So now I have a still-sorta-functional MyBook enclosure, AC adapter, and both 4’ and 6’ USB 3.0 A-to-micro B cables, but no use for them.
Is there anything useful I can do with this stuff? I hate to throw away hardware that still mostly works. I just can’t think of anything else that uses that weird Micro-B connector.
