I have two identical (I think 10gig drives). One is not IDs by BIOS, the
other seems OK, but the SMART status is BAD. I thought I'd have a go at
switching the boards round as some people report success wth this.
I first removed the board from the dirve with the bad SMART status and put
on it the board from the other drive. It just made chugging noises and the
drive was not IDd at all.
So I replaced the original board onto this disk and expected to see bad
SMART status as before. But now the board is making like it was with the
other drive's board, and is not IDd at all.
What gives? Can putting an incompatible board on mess up an otherwise
working drive? I'm sure these were identical.
