Following my own advice, I bought a NAS box and two 1.5TB drives
yesterday when I went home to Raleigh. I configured it as RAID1

The 1.5TB drives (Seagate Barracuda) were $80 each; 2TB drives would
have been $180 each.
I needed more storage space for this computer.

Ann,
It would appear that the design of the hard drive enclosure is poor, not
allowing enough air circulating inside - this leads to overheating, and
when metal components get hot, they expand. With small and critical
tolerances, this leads to early failure.

Ouch! Oh, that is not fun. We had a drive crash that had all our financial
data on it a while back. A local computer guy was able to recover things
but I'm not sure exactly how he did it. I do know he had to crack the hard
drive case and plug it into his computer with some sort of adapter.
Had to have one cooling fan replaced about a year ago when an equipment
failure shut me down. Big relief!!
