Got presented with an external HDD housing and power supply yesterday, with the complaint that "it made a bad smell, and won't go".
Brief inspection yielded a possible clue as to why.
I honestly have no idea why the manufacturers of these things persist in using an incredibly fragile plug that is utterly unnecessary to carry a single DC voltage to the enclosure electronics - it has its own onboard DC-DC supply to run the logic board, USB interface chipset, HDD supply etc.
Honestly, if you can't use a simple barrel plug then I can only assume you are slime sucking scum who deliberately use a fragile connector in the hope that people will wreck them and buy another one.
Seriously, a quality external enclosure with a decent power supply arrangement costs a lousy 45 bucks. Stop rewarding crappy asian manufacturing companies with your business.
