Man of Honour
Hi guys,
Just a temporary measure, I'm using my maxtor diamond plusmax 9 with a sata->usb adaptor and my drive is just out on the desk, not in any enclosure. It gets fairly warm to the touch and I wondered how bad this was? I assume most enclosures come with a fan or similar, but is it safe for me just to have it resting on the desk? I have it on for quite a while.
