Well ... obviously not. The hdd freezes during copying stuff on it. On 
the other hand: it was very cheap (almost half the price it was a few 
months ago). So I did a bit of DIY: small hdd out, new big one in. And I 
will use the USB enclosure with the small one (60 GB) for swapping files 
with my laptop or at work (teachers are allowed to do that ;-).
