Just like an engineer......
The oil is draining out of the crankcase - and he FLOORS it to get the car home faster so he can fix it!!!!!!
In reality (outside the above reality) - I had a 20GB drive recently in the Pismo (6 months or so?) - and was simply running a utility on it from VersionTracker. I don't know who caused who - but running the utility was heating up the drive, and I came back into the room 90 minutes later to hear "click click click ------ click click click" --- so definitely, running a bunch of stuff on it now, while it's mad at you is not a good idea.
First, I must ask this question..... isn't redundancy the hallmark of your profession? Where is your Time Machine drive? Hmmmmmm?
I'm surprised you don't hear anything - or hadn't heard anything prior to this. And drive access on that machine isn't like the MB - so a quick trip to the freezer isn't practical.
Well, all I can say is.... send me the unit - I'll take to the Apple store up the road, and then bring it back to you, personally, to ensure no problems. I'll even fly coach-ish.... which is sorta like cargo, near the bathroom, where you have to stand.
Better for my back anyway....
