[QUOTE="User121314, post: 911331, member: 16824"] You've misunderstood the word "handle". Once the drive is in it's bay there is no more handling of the drive. Unless you are removing it from the drive bay. There is use thereof, which needs due care, of course. I only have 2 rules for my drives: 1. Do not exceed 40 deg c 2. No sudden power offs. Other than that they just sit in the drive bays & do their thing. My WD 1TV has a power on count of 1406 & power on hours of 25963. The WD 2Tb is new, 243 power on count & 556 power on hours. Seagate 2Tb has 3208 power on count & 10635 power on hours. Drives fail. Fact of life. Have backups or have regrets. [/QUOTE]
