[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1590854, member: 320225"] Thanks, just what I suspected re: software, bit disappointing to learn about Seagate quality - I have to stop thinking in mid-90s reliability matrix ... With regards to heat dissipation - I was rather surprised, by the minuscule clearance at the bottom of the box, and you've just confirm it - that can't be good for a [fast] spinning HD. Anyway it's just a cheap interim drive, needed purely for logistical reasons, and unlikely to be in use beyond six to nine month time, so should be alright, hopefully. In fact, this is probably the last HD I bought - time to move, gradually, to no-moving-parts storage. I'll get the SMART monitoring, as you suggested, thanks. [/QUOTE]
