"drives are being run on the edge of their temperature limits"

I run my hdds outside of the case in a hdd cage from an old server case. Stopped a lot of errors right there.

How much noise does that generate?

Considerably less than all the case fans I used to futility (apparently 'futily' is not a word) run. The hdds are actually pretty quiet.

Quantum Fireball. Or if you need extra capacity then a Quantum Bigfoot.

Well I should have bought the new drive earlier. It arrived today but the original drive looks to have pretty much fully died about 2 days ago.

Thankfully I still use CrashPlan. The restore will no doubt take forever

I thought you have superfast internet. How many TB to restore?

Currently restoring 260 GB (leaving some data on their servers for the time being)

Whilst my connection is 200 mbps down, Crashplan can't transfer that quickly it seems. It's quoting between 6 and 12 hours.

Apparently I've got 6.5TB of data backed up, quite a bit is deleted files which remain on the Crashplan servers.
