Forward progress on defiant

I was in Manassas yesterday and stopped by a PC shop. They had internal removable hard drive enclosures with an LCD display and internal fan. I bought two of them.

Got a chance to swap the current drive into the new enclosure, and it actually dropped the temperature of the drive from 35 degC to 20 degC. However, while the errors have dropped from 58 yesterday to 10 today, I believe the damage is already done. So tonight when I get home, I’ll start the rebuild.

The firewall is standing up pretty well as well. Haven’t had any problems with it at all.
