[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1713965, member: 234411"] Great point, [B]Nick[/B], and yet another consideration! When still working and on PCs, my external BU HDs were all AC-powered 3.5" drives - now, I'm just using 2.5" portable USB-powered HDs. But, I was doing some 'googling' trying to find information pertaining to reliability & longevity of these two different size HDs - not much available except 'opinions' of forums - would be curious? Thanks again - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
