Yes, I agree whole-heartedly..  I would save files in my toaster if I
could (since that is probably the most reliable piece of electric
equipment in the house)  ;-)

I just got a 1TB USB drive to rip it open and replant it in a E-SATA
case only to find out the fols at WD put the USB interface right on
the circuit board, and left off the sata connections completely..
what a waste..  It is only a 5400 rpm drive, but I would have liked
the extra 100mbps or so anyhow....
