Hi,

I'm currently using HD as tape. But this HD are spread around all my boxes: One 
by workstation and they are always connected.

I was thinking to use removable HD that I can hot un/pluged, and to place them 
in a safe.


Does the HD technology allow such kind of use:
- one day of use
- unmountig it
- keeping it disconnected for a 2 month in a safe (like backup's tape)
- remountig it
..
..


I heard that HD's has to be maintained connected to the power, because they 
have some auto discover/repairing error.


comment, suggestion...?

Ced.
