I don't know if this problem is related to OPUS or not. I have two external harddrives. One is 100Gig and the other one is 400gig. The problem is that both drives went bad while I was using OPUS by copying files to and from the drives. The harddrives are pretty new. The 100gig is about 6 months and the 400gig is about 4 months. I bought the 400 gig as a backup to the 100gig. Are there any known problems with Opus and the size of hard drives?
At work we use two 500gb usb-drives, and one 1tb raid usb-drive. I have never noticed any trouble. We have been using them for 1 year now.
At home I have a 400gb usb drive as well, and for two years, no problems 
As far as my simple brain can see, dopus dont do anything to the drives themselves...
Maybe you should state your operating system, ntsc or fat and such to the genious that lives inside this forum?
Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure it is not a software problem. BTW, I am using XP NTSC format.
Opus just reads and writes data using the Windows APIs. There's no way it could make a drive break directly.
I've used Opus extensively with about 6 different 200 / 250 / 300 gig USB external drives, all formatted as NTFS, on two different computers without a single problem so far. I use them for offsite backups and for storing my music on my main computer (laptop with only 60 gig internally).
