This includes, -Not dropping the drive -Keeping the drive in a dry area -Keeping the drive in a cool area -Keeping the drive away from any dust and finally, keeping it as stationary as possible. The heads in these drives are..well, fragile is an understatement. Proper care will extend the life of your drive for years! You don't want your backup drive to die ;) -Yama Nawabi Jim Nichols wrote: > Are any of you using Western Digital My Passport Essential USB 2.0-powered > external hard drives?
