  1. Shouldn’t you have masked out the partnumber?
    This is just to easy


  2. Yeah, i agree with henkie… ❓ Why is the part# still there? Well, maybe i will win this time… 😀


  3. Way too easy.

  4. Without the partnumber it would have been hard.
    I have never seen a … like the one in this picture


  5. I guess it will come down to the “random” part. Hope I win I have the drive just need the enclosure .


  6. I was thinking that if this part number was removed it would have been very difficult to identify. The last bunch of contests have been very hard also so I wanted to make one that would be easier. 🙂

    Good luck.


  7. well then i hope pseudorandom luck is on my side… 🙂 A 2.5″ enclosure would be nice for laptop data recovery.


  8. The MRF247 is designed for ****


  9. Unamico, that was kind of a dick move.


  10. unamico, that was kind of a @ss#ole thing to do. Like this wasn’t easy enough already.


  11. Hey Unamico,

    Please send in your guess to the email address shown, please don’t post the answer in the comments section.

    Thanks


  12. Maybe it will be okay if every second character would be masked 😀
    Im blind or there is 3 usb plug on the prize?? :O


  13. Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, I know, I know, I know


  14. Funny, I have one of these sitting right in front of me!


  16. Well, I haven’t cracked my screen open, but probably not. I’ve got one sitting on the workbench right now for something I am working on.


  18. feki00, the 3 USB lead is common on USB host powered drives – one goes to the drive, the other two are for power and data (so they take 2 USB ports on your computer)


  19. Oh thanks!! Thats handy, no need to a big psu.




  23. Next time blur the part number out 🙂
