"Especially failure prone are solutions where ordinary 3.5in drives are used in DIY enclosures. It works for transporting documents but does not work as music storage.Anyone using external USB drives without off site backup is looking for trouble.
Solution? Get enterprise-class internal Seagate drives (one with 5 years warranty) put them into workstation and you'll be fine."
Bob,
Can you explain further? I just bought a 250 GB Seagate, and was planning on using it in an external enclosure (Ultra USB/firewire - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=ULT31310 ). It does have a built in fan, so will this help save it from the excessive heat that you mentioned?
I wanted to use the external enclosure for portability's sake. The thought of being able to take my music collection with me anywhere I go is enticing.
Does anybody else have an opinion on using an external enclosure w/ a hard drive?
