Post subject:  My external drive
I got myself an external harddrive, bought a harddrive and a casing for it,
hooks up via USB2. It worked fine for 4-5 months, but now it's starting to
get all moody. The spin on the harddrive suddently say "click" and it stops,
then starts again.

When it's cold (been off for more than two hours) it's hard to get it working,
it starts spinning, then makes the click sound, stops, clicks, starts again, stops..

Around 10-15 times of turning it on/off it comes back on..

OR: yup its buggered

Bears are big and warm because of all their fur. Norway is cold because its too far north.

When a bear plays with a hardrive it warms up and metals expand. When bear goes away Norways ambient temp cools the drive down and metals contract. This leads to fatigue and the drive wants to go into a hibernation that it'll never wake up from. Its sleepy but wants to stay awake but will eventually succumb.

Moral of the story is dont live in cold places :D
