This seems to be about right. However, the next time your disk goes sour, you will have the same issues. It may be prudent to take a RAID solution into account. I have such a setup (external eSATA 2-bay RAID 2 enclosure with one cold spare disk) working at home with no problems yet. The only issue is that smartmontool does not work with the external RAID controller and I have to check the LCD screen of the RAID enclosure for error messages periodically. An internal LVM based (software) RAID 2 may have been the better solution in this regard. With kind regards Stefan Peter
