This does work as expected, I just wonder if here's the need to spin
down the drive from time to time, since it's plastic-covered, it perhaps
could become too hot. It's just a little bit warm at the moment, not
hot, IMO there is no risk of overheating.
I use a Nexxtech NX2 external drive case, with my laptop's old standard
2.5" hard drive in it. The case is aluminum and does an excellent job of
keeping the drive cool.
Always wondered why people felt the need to by external drives when you
could get a better external drive housing and put the drive of your
choice in it ...
