    Bad bot. You’ve removed most of the meat of the article. TL:DR - Oversized components and cheap solder cause weak connections and make the drives prone to breaking. It also impacts 2GB and 3GB drives.

            The controllers were probably one of the most reliable parts of that sub, but I appreciate your effort.
