[pchelpers] USB external hard drives

I had USB HP cd/rw  external , and Maxtor USB external  Hard drives I had 
the same problem they ran very hot -- and they did  burn out.  For me I  no 
longer buy external hard drives, modems, or external  DVD writers because I 
use them a lot and the cost is high replacing them , I usually buy  internal 
hard drives- I put extra fans in my system to keep my system cool. Probably 
external hard drive is okay but if that goes there goes your data - you 
might have to back everything up on cds. There is probably someone on this 
list that could recommend a good stable backup system without costing an arm 
and a leg . Jackie

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
