Sorry to hear about the failure. I often wonder whether external
drives have adequate cooling and ventilation, especially when they are
used heavily. Do/did you monitor your HDD temps via SMART? Was the
external drive purchased as a single unit (drive plus enclosure) or
did you purchase the two separately?
