Hello Thane,

Those external HD's are not for the purpose of running 24/7.  Also, note some
laptops on battery power can not power up those HD's either.

Hi Tim,
I was hoping for a reponse from you. When you say they aren't made for 24/7 use, do you mean that they don't need as much power for short bursts, or that the lack of power causes them to fail, so you should use them lightly? If you have a dual head USB (so they're getting a full amp available) is that better for the drive?
