I was gifted one of these fine external USB hard drives a while back. It totally saved the day cuz I figured I might as well back up my important data off my network share, then my network share died. Phew…. Since my network share was dead the USB drive got a bunch of use. Well recently is has started getting a little flaky. It would mount as read only and no matter what I did I had to reboot my machine for it to show back up. Eventually a reboot would not fix it anymore. I finally decided to just mount the sucker in fstab and it is doing pretty good now.
I added another 300gb internal drive and plan on using the USB drive as a precious data backup device only. Thing just scares me too much to use as a regular drive.
