Tom,

On the other hand, Don never plays golf in the snow!

When it comes to spinning down the hard drive, this feature, to my knowledge, is not available in the T2. Hard drives fail, even when they are not being transported--it's the nature of the beast. Those tiny bearings eventually wear out and the drive goes out of alignment. In reality, there is not a lot you can do about this other than not use the HD. I'm confident that solid state drives will eventually replace HDs and the problems associated with HDs will be eliminated. It's just a matter of time.

Cheers,

Gary
