Ok, I picked up a lot of stuff today, and it came with a brand new in the box never opened drive external drive.

I was looking it over, and the hub has cracks all around it so bad I would dare put a floppy in or power it up because it would disintegrate. Possible to change that Hub easily? Or is it a pressed in thing? Shame because the drive looks pristine, and all the other drives are in great shape (5 others).

What the heck could have cracked aluminum cast like that? I've never seen it before. It was in a dry moderate temperate office building.
 
Answered my own question, I tapped it and it comes out, so I can replace it. I am still surprised the hub did that.
