Do you have the same problem with the new/refurbished drive? If so, have you tried pointing a fan at it? The new one arrived a few days ago, and so far, so good. The disk is always used inside, where there is air conditioning (about 28 degrees C or so at most). Curiously, the disk gets hotter in th...

The cooling was just to recover data from the disk without the Mac blocking. Believ...

How to REFRIGERATE an external mobile disk?
Is there a way to REFRIGERATE an external mobile disk? It is used to boot Macs at home and at work (a way to carry all the work from one place to another), and overheats, blocking the Mac.

Well, we've (some friends and I) probably bought close to 80 Samsung F1 drives, and so far the failure rate has been more than acceptable, but not all raid cards will play nice with them. the 10^15 URE rate is better than 10^14 seagate specs their drives to, for one. However, the 7200.11 series fro...
