1. Desktop Hard Drives are not designed to be removed and inserted repeatedly. This could result in worn out connectors and cracked solder joints. What would you consider too frequent use? I would probably use the capability once or twice a month. Are there better quality removable bays that would minimize the connector problem? 2. Desktop Hard Drives are not very tolerant of jolts. The G forces associated with constant removal and insertion will most likely decrease the life of the drive. I would most likely leave the drive in the machine until I needed it. Perhaps one or two on a shelf. I would find some other option for small file transfers..LS120 or Zip. Zeuspaul
