I *do*, however, like the fact that the Vantec Nexstar 3 model uses
a large aluminum heat sink for the drive inside its case, and thus
does not need a fan for the enclosed hard drive (and that may be
part of the reason for the tight fit).
That's a good tradeoff, I guess. It doesn't scald your hands like
Blanton's do?
No way.
But maybe you're not runnong it long, too.
Maybe true, if you mean HOURS on end, but I don't think it matters.
If it ain't hot after 45 minutes, it ain't gonna get hot. And it
takes 45 minutes to copy my boot (and all program's) main drive
partition C:
About 10 GB worth at this point.
OK. Sounds good as far as heat.
Perfect copy, including ALL folder and file dates. Which is the
only way to go (for me) - I depend on the date stamps of folders and
files when I install and modify (or update, or remove) programs and
data. Plus I'm always running SFC to keep tabs on things. And
using registry backups as needed, after testing out various programs
(and sometimes their updates, which I don't like sometimes)
Uhuh, I remember all that, that you wanted the same date stamps & that
BING provides them. I like it that way too.
Not all USB External HD enclosure models are like this, and
especially if it were an all plastic design (as some models
apparently are), one would probably want a fan to cool the enclosure
drive (and some other models have that). But as for the fan?
Thanks, but no thanks - I like mine noiseless, and it runs cool,
anyways.
That sounds reasonable to me, & I'll keep it in mind for sure.
Thanks.
I've actually just ordered another one, so I can *effortlessly*
backup the other hard drive, which contains my audio and video files
(I like to do some audio restoration on various older music).
Two of them, hmmm. So, now you do wish it were easier to get an HDD
in/out the first?
Not really all that necessary in my case. Why would I? They are only
backup drives.
