It's genuine Scotch® Matte Finish Magic™ Tape! It's supposed to be invisible!!!

You probably need to return it because it's defective! rolleyes.gif
Maybe I can just use a "magic" Marker... Last time I tried to return something, it cost me $20!!! eek2.gif laughhard.gif

Best twenty bucks I've ever spent on technology! This adaptor is working purrfectly! It even goes to sleep on its own! Wakes up when needed. It just works! I haven't started working on the new and improved case holder but have purchased some needed styrene shapes and sent out for bids for a couple of designs... laughhard.gif   I'm thinking of some 18th century "high-tech" designs!

Got an email from a tech at OWC yesterday. He says he's set up a Barracuda in the same enclosure I had used and will be running a lengthy test to see if it disconnects like mine. I told him that was a fine idea but I'm not going back to that enclosure with that drive since it is operating perfectly with the Seagate adaptor. Nor do I plan on buying another Seagate drive anytime soon. We ordered a refurbed MBP for our daughter-in-law since she'll need her own with her daughter in another college! wink.gif I just hope their dog doesn't get sent to obedience school and needs her own laptop!!! laughhard.gif    eek2.gif scram.gif

Haven't heard from OWC as to how their testing is going. I assume they've had no problems. Nor have I ordered a drive to put into the old OWC multi-port enclosure to test on the newly arrived MBP. The tech did say he thinks my enclosure is the problem but I'm not interested in paying for another repair... rolleyes.gif

I can say that the Seagate drive is still working perfectly with the Seagate adaptor I got for 20 bucks!! clap.gif And it's amazingly cool running, also, which is great since there is no fan involved. I've purchased some styrene pieces and sheets to create a more stable setup. Pictures at 10...although the date is unknown!!! tongue.gif
