It depends on which drives they use, the extra heat in enclosed drives and the fact that most people tend to bang enclosed drives round more. I am loosing count of the number of drives and backups I take. You cannot spend too much on protecting your life (digital or not). Make a habit of buying cases and filling them with hard drives, you always find a use for them.
If you doubt this, just find someone who has lost all his data; his face is white, his hands shake and his legs are wobbling - man it's trully terrifying (There speaks the voice of experience
)
