I got my current pair of Seagate 500s from Fry's for about $190 apiece. Good enclosures: Dual interface USB 2.0 and FireWire 400, fan cooled, auto power switching, etc. In the heat we had last summer, I was getting darn worried with some of my drives in non-fan-cooled enclosures. Seems quite risky. I would strongly suggest that you acquire a second external drive and back up your photo work to it. One drive failure with everything on it is a disaster, one drive failure when you have a complete backup on a second drive is just an expensive PITA. ;-) Godfrey ========== Thanks, Godfrey. Yeah, that is what I've been thinking too. Not sure heat alone can cause failure, but I would bet so.
