My floor in this area is flagstone. I'm considering this because there doesn't seem to be an opening to allow heat to escape. Is it a normal but smaller hardrive or one of the SS kind? How about it's storage capacity?

Hard drives are mechanical devices and thus generate some heat, but the case is sealed and I don't think covering it would hurt. Of course, what hurts a hard drive in a fall is not cracking the case - it's scoring the platters with the head. The audiophile drive's capacity is about 1.5 TB. This doesn't relate to your question, but it's a USB 3.0 drive (really nice touch by PG Music). BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

Sometime when you are just aching to type.... Is 3.0 an improvement over some previous version. What are it's improvements? This is not critical info for me so feel free to accept my thanks and lay into those F# etudes.

Yes, a USB 3.0 drive is far faster than the more common USB 2 standard that we've had for ten years or so. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible so you can still use the drive on older equipment. I bought a PCI add-on card to give me USB 3.0 on my older PC and it really helps when copying many files for backups. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.
