Otherwise, there's nothing stopping anyone from using an external, custom enclosure or not, for as long as they feel like. There are plenty of users on BBT who seed 24/7 from external drives.

Well i used to seed 24x7 from my external drive too... but they are only designed for storage and will quickly die if i keep using them the way i used to...
And External Enclosure i am referring to means not the computer but something like in which an external drive comes since i have heard that internal are good for seeding 24x7. Basically it would be an internal drive(i.e. caviar green, Blue) in an external enclosure which isn't a computer.

The best I've generally found are the samsung F3 and F4 respectively. The F3 is the faster 7200rpm drive with 1TB storage, and the F4 is the slower 5200rpm (I think that's the figure) drive with 2TB storage.
Or it might be the other way around. However, for the price of them they're absolutely brilliant. They've been doing me fine for a long time now.

Like Kira said... 5400rpm is there not 5200rpm.
Tephnos:
I knew I got the numbers mixed up. 5400 it is.
I personally wasn't aware of that kind of merger. Guess I'll have to be more careful when next buying a HD then.
Or I'm just going to buy SSDs from now on.
