I have recovered data from a drive which had an obviously blown component on its control board, by replacing such board with one from an identical (near enough) drive sourced from Ebay. Less hassle than transplanting the platters (which I have never done). But if it truly is only 5GB it will be very old and almost certainly unavailable.

But still could be. I found some 5 GB hard drives and even a 21 MB hard drive with just a quick search.

yes, there are a few - but it has to be the same model.

Same model is certainly ideal but not necessarily required. There is another poster in this chain that noted they used a similar version.
But of course trying to find one that matches close enough without the technical expertise (and no docs) would make it difficult.

Barbecue!
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

People need to wake up. We've had more explosions and fires on farms in the past two years than in our entire lifetime. Any rational person would think either A: farmers are all masochists now or B: something else is going on. Connect the dots.

The farmers are running meth labs to make ends meat?

Insurance fraud to cash out of losing business? Sell for 50% recovery or destroy for 100% recovery?
That has to be one heck of an explosion to do that much damage. What is the square footage to hold 18,000 cows plus feed stations, milking equipment, etc?

The latest thing in farming - the high-rise cowshed?

Horrendously small. Whistleblowers that have attempted to bring light to the atrocious conditions have been murdered, no joke.
This explosion, if I heard correctly, was probably caused by the methane in a confined space, either from the cows themselves or from the waste collection, I don't know.
Presumably a spark from some machinery set it off. I doubt it was anyone smoking, since I think only one person was injured, and they survived. If I recall correctly that is. I read about it yesterday.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

We have to accept that either farmers are stupid and cow the population has increased dramatically in the past two years to make cow farts a bigger issue now, or that something else is going on. Cows have been farting for a while now. All these explosions are new. There is more than meets the eye going on, just from a sheer logical perspective.
As a side note, chickens are treated worse. I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but gluttony is a sin the west has been guilty of for a while now. Myself included. So while I do not think cow farts are the next atomic bomb the foolish media portrays, we most certainly should treat the animals better that we noms on.

If I had to guess, there's probably more cows packed into less space than there was in previous decades.
If that's the trend, and if it continues, the methane thing will certainly be a problem.

While cow population doesn't necessarily mean they weren't stuffed into smaller spaces, at least least a better metric to go on than the fake news or a guess. There's zero logical reason to do that without more cows existing, especially during the economic slowdown we've had in the past few years.
To reiterate; it's not cow farts. Most people are too scared to learn the truth. I only avoid flat-out saying what it is because it's the lounge. But to assume cow farts from being packed like sardines is to also assume farmers are stupid and couldn't figure out farts are bad after the first few explosions.

So certainly then presumably a conspiracy theory must thus follow.
lol - just looked it up ... more click bait stupidity.

Except a single barn for that many would have had to have been 14 acres. Which nothing I found suggests barns are that big.

I don't know what the actual facilities look like, but if it was a bunch of separate buildings I could still see a chain reaction. 18,000 cows is a lot of burgers.
Where else is an explosion like that going to come from?

I believe I know the reason why, but that would be going too far down the rabbit hole for the lounge. My only hope is people will wake up and realize a trend is going on and then do the research themselves.

18k cows jammed into a small enough space to kill them all would produce a $hitton of methane, pardon the pun.

You're missing the point. This is why the Internet isn't fun any more.
To repeat, I'm referring to the frequency of explosions. It's not like the population of cows tripled in the past year to cause cow farts to be more of an issue than they were 5 years ago.

For example more reporting on things like that now versus long ago?
