Plug-in disk HDDs aren't something I would necessarily trust ... if you're not using it, if platters aren't turning, what's to prevent 'bleed' and consequential data corruption?
What I'm looking at is the new external flash-based HDDs ... that's for down the road, however. <G>

actually connect them to do a backup or restore. Under those conditions,
they should last much longer than a permanently fitted HDD.
