It is a conventionally installed internal drive. "Testing" it outside its case will not do too much for me because the problem arose after about two years of use, then I reformatted, then it happened again, after about three weeks. I could not conveniently leave it outside of the enclosure for another three or four weeks to check it out. Thanks, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."
