Heat an issue for External disk?
I put a Western Digital 120Gig 7200rpm in a USB external case used in a
home office and I would like to leave it on 24/7 to backup up 4 PCs over LAN. (If I have to remember to turn it on each day, I wont get consistent backups) The case has no fan, but good space around it and vents for convection air flow. Nothing sits on top of it and feet elevate so air can get underneath. Is this going to be a heat issue for the unit that would accellerate a failure? If I leave it on 24/7 how long should it theoritcally last? thanks for any insight
