[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1607081, member: 56379"] When you disconnect the external HD every morning...are you properly disconnecting it? To properly disconnect...you need to "eject" the external HD from the computer. Such as first dragging the external HD's icon to the trash. File corruption can occur if this is not done first (just yanking the external HD's data cable out of the computers USB port). And the more times this is done...the more likely data/file corruption can happen. - Nick [/QUOTE]
