My IDE drive 'water' tastes just fine thanks, I don't care whether the issue was the adapter, I've settled to use the technology the machine was designed to take. Why do you care so much that you posted the same question twice? I'd rather be a misguided donkey than a message board troll.

Simon, what do I need to get a grip about? Calling out rudeness?

About thinking his comment was rude in any way at all to begin with, you need to get a grip on reality.

It's very little use saying, aha, that's why the drive failed, search it, but on reflection and taking the aha as eureka rather than haha and relating it back to my curiosity about WHY the drive had got messed up I can see the comment from another angle.

Fair enough, I take your point it wasn't meant to be rude. Sorry for jumping the gun but there's no need for the donkey comments though. Why add fuel to fire.

That was exactly why I said

i have a straight IDE ssd that doesnt require an adapter and it works well in the mpc 4000. its about twice as expensive as an SATA drive that would require an adapter however. i started a thread with the details.
