I have the SimpleTech Pininfarina 320GB Hard Drive and was working great for a while. Then all of the suddent it just stoppped working. The light doesn't come on anymore on the unit. I've tried replugging everything in and the coputer doesnt even see it. What are my options to resolve this? And if it can't be fixed, what is a safe way to dispose of the unit to prevent potential identity theft? THanks!!

Hi Angela ,
You' re probably facing a power or usb issue . Consider opening the enclosure ( will be lost , i presume ) and placing the drive in an external usb box ( available in any computer store starting from 20 $ ) to be reconnected to your pc . If this doesn' t help , it means your device is dead . There then still is a small opportunity to recover the lost data by using a recovery software like Recuva ( free ) or TenorShare Recovery ( payable ) .
This should help you solving your issue .
