DonM,

You are probably right, they are not likely to fail, but if a keyboard is moved around regularly then they are at more risk than your desktop PC and perhaps more than your laptop, but HDDs are far more reliable than they used to be, I think the Auyda HDD may be a pig to get out quickly and surely not on a gig, if it goes down you will have to start singing. Frank added a drive internally, it could be added to the outside but I think it’ s a risk you may just need to take not to have one at all, but a backup in a caddy to change HDD if needed would only cost you £10.00 for the caddy and £20.00 for the HDD and you have a spare drive and all your files backed up.
