Mr O - was tempted, but have ordered a new WD. Done all the Win disk repair stuff, and it found the bad sectors etc too. I do not want to risk data loss etc.

What is the expert's solution to the crummy Molex connectors? Over the 25 years plus of computing they have been a constant source of trouble, constant 'replacement' and still every now and then power 'interruptions' which need 'fiddling with' if I 'disturb' the internals, and cannot do the drives any good.

Are there better quality solutions, or do I just go for a terminal connector strip 'hard-wired' solution?
