[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1620705, member: 46727"] Consider yourself lucky that you didn't burn up the USB port on your expensive retina iMac. That would have been a disaster for you since that does not fall under the Apple warranty. Throw away the Dynex, and then contact Seagate to see if you can get a RMA for the drive which undoubtedly is defective. What you might try to get your data off the Seagate before doing the RMA is to purchase a self powered universal drive adapter. (they cost around $20) Then plug the adapter to an AC outlet and the Seagate to the USB port on your MacBook Pro. That might allow it to spin up so as to retrieve your data. Another method you can use is to remove the Seagate drive from its case and place it in an external carrier. However, that will void your warranty on the drive. [/QUOTE]
