24/7?.. Well, sometimes...
I don't like to just let it run all the time. But it sits silently on my Network, and sometimes I turn it on to save files to it, or pull files from it, or to back up other drives, listen to tunes, etc.I have two actually, a 300gb, and a 500gb. The 300 holds all my music files, and project files, and the 500, I only turn on now and then to back up the 300, and my desktop/laptop.
It's completely independant, and doesn't need a workstation, and can go on and off your network as needed.
I don't like to let drives spinning all the time. And now, if one of the two should fail, the other one covers it with backed up data.
And Kona... for the first time in my life, I've actually backed up everything... this drive is what helped me to that.
Besides... how long do DVD's last? Anyone, .. Bueller?
