Good drive, get fan if not chucking!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These get pretty hot (52C easily), make sure to get a USB fan and have it blow over the top of the drives. This will keep it at around 34 - 42C which is perfect temp range. Otherwise great drives.
