Well, if it is going to fail because of anything, including heat, I |
| 10 |
would rather it do so BEFORE I put my stuff on it. Right now, a backup |
| 11 |
is not possible other than a blue ray or something. Also, I have a |
| 12 |
Cooler Master case with the fan blowing right on the drives. If it gets |
| 13 |
hot and blows a fuse, it has a problem anyway. It may as well die early |
| 14 |
while under warranty. |

Split what? The drive into two partitions or something? If that is |
| 26 |
what you mean, if it dies, I'd still loose it all. If you meant two |
| 27 |
drives, well, I only have one on the way right now. It will be a while |
| 28 |
before I can get another. In the past, I just backed up stuff on DVDs. |
| 29 |
3Tbs is a lot of DVDs tho. It won't take to long to fill that up |
| 30 |
either. I love my DSL. lol |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I hope to get another drive in the future tho. Just going to be a |
| 33 |
little while. ;-) |
