What a CRU Dataport?

Never heard of 'em before.

 

Google turned up their website - have you tried poking around there?

Yes, it appears to be a kind of portable, secure hard drive that you can unlock and pull out of your computer.

 

I have a metal box with a kind of hard drive in it, but I dont have the frame it fits into which in turn fits into your computer case. The ports in the back of the hard drive wont accept the standard IDE or whatever cable that HDs take.

What do the ports look like? Do any of them look like they fit SCSI or SATA cables?

I'll take it if you don't want it and sell it on Ebay ! Maybe you should find it's rightful owner. What is address on package? Maybe he/she give reward or you get karma points like Fallout. I say you should!

 

Thats the weird thing, neighbor lady said it was in the mail pile but there is no address on the box now that I look at it, so it could not have been from the mailman. And the box was not sealed either, just a cardboard tab tucked in. I wonder who dumped it into our mailslot? Someone returned it to the wrong house.

It has SATA connections in the back actually, they look exactly like this picture:

That is SATA right? My computer has the IDE ribbons or whatever, would it be possible to purchase a SATA cable setup and install it? I could use a ton of new memory right now, in fact I can't even install D3 at this point I have so much crap on my HD.

I think what you have is to protect a hard drive but that's about it :o.

No I actually have a hard drive here, its the security frame thats missing. I have to figure out how to attach these SATA cables to my computer. I wonder it they are compatible?

 

Is it ticking...?

 

 

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking along those lines... :ph34r:

 

 

Remember guys, I live in Philadelphia, when someone wants you dead a fifteen year old rides up on a scooter and blows your head off. No one "bombs" people here anymore, sheesh, how passe'. ;)

Does your motherboard support SATA? If so, great, just plug it in. If not, you'd need an adapter or SATA expansion card of some kind.

 

Most new motherboards support SATA, but it's still fairly recent, so if your computer is more than a couple of years old then you probably don't have it built-in.

Its a Dell 1.33 Ghz IIrC, it should support SATA, Ill check for certain.

 

So this is what happens to those products that get lost in the mail :)

 

I'm pretty sure this was someone dropping this thing off who got the wrong house, not the mailman. If I find naked pictures of any of my neighbors, Ill know whose it was. I hope to hell they aren't pictures of the two retired nuns who live next door...... :blink:

I guess this is one of those dilemmas where you have to look at the contents to see who the rightful owner is, but the rightful owner probably doesn't want anyone looking at the contents. My bet is 100,000 social security numbers from some private firm that the gov't outsourced something to. :)

If I do see anything official like that, the answer is simple: format. B)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
