Take it out the enclosure and it might be fine. I regularly have drives |
| 10 |
"die" in an enclosure and then work fine when I take them out. |

That's why I bought an open bay - it's eSATA and the only bit of the |
| 13 |
drive that is enclosed is the connectors. Keeps the drive from cooking ... |

Oh - the other thing - if it's PMR and you're copying files onto it, |
| 16 |
expect a puke! That thing on WD Reds going PMR, I copied most of that on |
| 17 |
to the linux raid mailing list and the general feeling I get is "PMR is |
| 18 |
bad". |
