Does anybody know if the "WD Elements" hard drives in enclosures with USB ports work with Fedora pain free? I've heard tales of some drive enclosures that go asleep on you, but can't recall if it were this range of models, and there's some of these on sale locally for a reasonable price. I had some unidentifiable brand of hard drive enclosure with a Seagate drive in it that died on me some time ago (the drive gets multiplying read errors). And I want to find a decent replacement, without a silly price, or a crappy fan that's going to make annoying noises or seize up. You try to be diligent, doing your backups to an external drive, then the backup drive is the thing to go west! :-\ Thank goodness I have the original files to back up the backup... And, yes, the drive got treated with kid gloves, and I don't expect hard drives to be treated any other way. Now I'm wondering what can be trusted as a medium for removable backups. I much prefer the notion of something like a drive that carries uncompressed copies of files, for direct access to a backup. Rather than serial access tapes, or terribly slow multi-DVD collections. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
