So I go into my living area after work yesterday, and I get read to plug my icy dock 4 bay external enclosure into my mbp when I noticed something....
It looked like water around the base. I knew it was from the air conditioner (even though the drive is not directly under the AC) so I obviously did not turn it on, I pulled out all the drives which felt dry, and picked the enclosure up only for a ton of water to drain onto the floor. This thing was soaked. The water hit the fan on the back and bounced right into the enclosure.
My time machine backup is on here
My Pictures are on here
My sound bank is on here
And the last drive is a mirror of my pictures.
In the past I have gotten almost every item ever liquid damaged to work again. I'm hoping the same goes for this since the enclosure is $400 even though the drives are more important but I think those are OK.
I have the enclosure sitting in the car right now (in Iraq temperatures it should dry out fairly quickly
) I'm hoping for the best. I will leave it there for awhile to ensure its thoroughly dried and then post back the results.
Let this be a lesson to everyone, don't leave stuff under an air conditioner!
