It performed admirable for a while, but now the drive motor won't even spin the disk. If I selected drive B:, the in-use LED would glow, but nothing more. Because the warranty already expired, I decided to open the unit. To my sur- prise, a Toshiba drive was inside. My only question is this: could I go to my friendly neighborhood computer store and buy a Toshiba drive and do a swap? Also, If I were to sell the junked drive for parts, how much could I expect to get for it?
