The main thing would be trashing the drive or the power supply -- motherboards are usually safe, the P/S gets to act like a giant fuse in such cases. But power nasties can be painful on drives. The power supply won't really isolate them -- too much mechanical stuff that reacts badly to power cycling. I'd still keep a backup, of course... I have too much time spent in ripping and tagging to want to lose my music. I don't worry about the Windows machine: it's been dead for ages anyway... :) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80889 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
