What are the chances of an external hard drive crashing?

best external hard drive with firewire image

not really worried about the viruses we never had one.
The external hard drive is a seagate 750gb firewire one. It is about 30gb full.

Answer
For most hard drives the failure rate is about 5% but start to go up depending on age and use, which is the same case for any piece of hardware that has moving parts.

Can someone recommend what I should uninstall to get some of my hard drive space back?

Q. I just installed Adobe CS4 Master Collection (w/o the video programs) on my 1.2 G4 iBook (1.25ram). I now only have 5.47GB left uGh. Was wondering what pre-installed (Leopard OS X 10.5) stuff I should get rid of? Or can I install Adobe CS4 on an external hard drive (Firewire connection) and run it from there?

Any suggestions?

Answer
I'm running photoshop CS3 Extended through a external hard drive hooked up through a USB so you could most likely run it through your firewire port if you wanted to do it that way.

You would just have to uninstall it then reinstall it with the program files on the external hd.
