thanks but the problem is not speed or hdd itself, my question is about the external hdd circuit (i mean sata to usb3) which should work permanently, i mean are external drives (the circuit) meant to work 24/7/365? and another question my seagate backup+ desktop drive temperature is always about 44 c. is that normal?

Hi, I have a digital CCTV system with a PC as the server, which I want to expand it's storage space. this time I decided to use an external usb drive (Seagate backup plus desktop) as the expansion device. but my question is that if this kind of device can do the job. I mean are these devices designed to work 24*7*365? I'm not worried about HDD itself but the additional usb to sata circuit, isn't it going to be damaged after 1 or 2 years? Thanks
