Hi,
Got a mate who wants a reliable external HDD to share between Mac and
PC.
Can anyone recommend one that doesn't have crappy cooling that's going
to kill the internal drive eventually? Odie, if you're around, are
there any that you don't hate?

I've been using a flycase (black, litle unit but don't know the exact
model)) enclosure with a laptop harddrive. IIRC you can just get the
case alone then put a drive in it. It was 2nd hand when I got it. I
carry it in a ruck sack on the motorbike, chuck the back in the corner
when taking it off. Its taken some pretty good abuse and still goes
strong. Mind its only a 20 gig laptop drive though so its not fast.
Doesn't have a problem with heat, certainly doesn't feel like it gets
warmer than the ambient temperature of the room.
