WONDERFUL!
Fortunately hard drives are dirt cheap so keep yours cool (install a fan) and buy an extra HD for duplication (backup) and storage. Fan should be blowing on and cooling the underside of the HD. The electronics. This is the point of failure, not the spinning disks inside

Absolutely correct. I keep a fan on mine at all times.
Heat kills electronics.

ortunately hard drives are dirt cheap so keep yours cool (install a fan) I've got mine in removable caddy's like hot swappable drives for a RAID, only there's a fan in the front. Works pretty well.
