Tips on Hard Drive Care?
I'm sure some of you will laugh at this question, but I just bought this external hard drive ( Newegg.com - Western Digital My Book Essential WDG1U2500N 250GB 7200 RPM USB 2.0 External Hard Drive - Retail ) and am wondering if it is okay to lay it down on its side while I'm using it.
Also, do you guys have any tips on how to preserve the life of the external hard drive? Jam it back in, in the dark. |

What programs have you used to check the health of your hard drive? And I guess I'll try putting the external on its side as it allows the bottom vent to actually have air flow.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

I'm getting speeds around 11mb/sec, though if I'm running other programs in the background, the drive will slow down. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Anyone know any good programs to check hard drive health?
