It's not really the drive itself (although small enclosures can run hot and increase thermal issues). Many of the external boxes use extremely cheap & nasty USB/SATA controllers which can cause all kinds of problems. That aside, you also have less reliable cabling (more connections + more movement = more errors) and a higher likleyhood of accidents like power disconnections or physical shocks. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
