A simple hard drive question

Yeah!!

If you dont clean it out regularly (and like - who does?!) - cat hair and dust n shit will build up between the blades and bearings and stuff and POOF - weird noises, clanking - then toasted HD. The first time I had a fan bearing going, I thought my computer was gonna blow up - it was making the most godawful noise .... all that, from a TINY bearing!!

I hear if you CAN manage to remember to clean it out, they last quite a while hehehe
