More dilithium crystals Cap’n

One of the external drives that contributes to this West Sussex data centre has failed to spin up. Lights were on, but nobody was at home, so-to-speak. A little debugging and cable swapping got the Gorse Fox to the point that he has isolated the problem to the power supply… and by switching with an older drive’s supply has now got both running again. New power supply ordered from WD, but obviously this is a problem as it is the second time this has happened.

Don't forget to check the containment field is up to strength before attempting to load the dilithium crystals Scotty....
