So last week I spent quite a bit of time working on my aging computer. The built-in sound stopped working (I may have shorted it out myself.) and I added a sound card. I have a liquid cooler on the CPU and the cooler only fits on one of the case’s rear fans. It also sucks up a motherboard expansion slot sitting on that fan. So I took the cooler’s radiator off and tried to attach it to the side fan, which went not well at all. I eventually let it float for a bit and managed to jiggle a drive cable enough to make the drive vanish. I eventually tracked down the drive and the cable and got it working. I also put the radiator back on the case. So anyway, last night, my sickest drive decided to expire. At least I now know where the bastard is!
