    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Buy another drive and stick it in the caddy :)

    Hard drives are very expensive at the moment due to floods in Thailand

    The caddy itself is worth very little...

    If you're sure that you can't return the entire lot, then perhaps you can try returning just the drive by providing the drive's serial number into Seagate's RMA procedure on their website.

    Any replacement Sata drive will usually work in an enclosure like this. Seagate backup software supplied with the drive on the other hand might detect and reject a non-seagate drive. Or might not.
