New hard-drive. Moving anime!

<< < (2/4) > >>

blubart:
you are saying yes, and after that explain a way of reloading the .torrent file (which is not what i was asking)...
anyway i found the option (dunno how i missed that one): rightclick on the torrent, advanced, set download location, force-recheck

Kowal:
Yeah I know its not wise but its unavoidable for me if I want to seed something. I will be paying for seedbox realyl soon though. I guess I will stop seeding those animes I have now and just seed those I will download straight onto my internal drive so I will not use external for seeding and download at all it seems. Thanks.

I would really like to see some technical evidence on that... Well, I mean, of course it will shorten the lifespan if you read/write from the disc all the time, but that would be the case for an internal drive too, yes?

Actually, most external drives are just an internal one in some container and a special gate between itself and the computer (yes, I know the last mentioned item can be a source to problems, especially if its USB)... So why all this fuss about external/internal drives? I would like to know how MUCH is the difference, instead of all that crapp yapping "ladida, don't use external drives".

Anyone care to enlighten me?

blubart:
the main problem is not with the drive or the connection (those are most of the time similar to what you have as internals - you could have bad luck though) but with the casing. they are simply not build to dissipate the heat produced by a continuously running drive. some cases are doing it better than others, but especially the cheap and small ones are horrible when it comes to heat dissipation.

That's why most good cases come with ventilation (fans? if you want to pay MORE...) and have a lower power comsumption HDD in there for lower temps and noise and transfer rate/RAT/etc though you won't notice that over USB.

Personally i'd go for a standard 7200RPM drive and just shove it in the case, same price. Or have a 5.25" to 3.5" HDD internal rack installed where one of the DVD drives goes. Easy.
