Anyone experienced this?That's a new one for me. Actual smoke? Where did the smoke come from, inside or from the board on the bottom? Maybe a capacitor blew.

This is the first time I have seen an actual smoke. The smoke comes from near the power connector

Likely the circuit board burning. But do nothing but take a backup of that drive and replace it. Don't keep using that even a minute more than necessary.

About six hours till we are heading out.

It's not working anymore, I haven't tried to open it again. We're trying to recover this since yesterday. I'm afraid there's no backup of the users file

Presumably that means that whoever was using this disk didn't think that the data on it had any value. So no loss there, right?
Where did the drive come from, is it from a server? Desktop? Laptop?

It's from Desktop .
I was looking some backup files in their shared folder, but: disappointed: -
Serious rain in Houston right now. Can barely see across the street!

We have informed them to make a backup of their files on our shared folder. But their accounts are also roaming profile.

So the end user is the one that decided that these files were not important enough to back up? Seems like a minor issue then. Just replace the drive.

At Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Public holiday today. Half the family is still asleep
-
Just got into our amazing house here in Nicaragua. It is dark here and pouring rain so don't have many pictures to share but will have some tomorrow. We are in love with the house, though. It is amazing. And the Internet seems to be excellent too.

Found a bizarre ungrounded half North American half European power outlet in our master suite bathroom just now...
It is a metaphor for my family..... a little bit American, a little bit European....

Got a couple of geckos that live in the living room. This one is the mommy. We found the baby on the far side of the room. They are so cute. Geckos in the house is considered a good luck sign.

Here are the kids in their bedroom. It is huge and has its own bathroom, which makes us all very happy. Giant king bed just for them. They always prefer to share a bed than to have separates but they like their space too, so this is absolutely perfect.

The master bedroom...

I got to see the sunset over Mexico tonight.
