Hi!
I use an external USB hard drive for data backup. I notice that heats quickly once it is connected.
How long can it remain continuously connected before grilling?

Hi and welcome
Everything depends on the temperature of the hard disk when it is in the 40° if is fine, if it is in the 50° is very dangerous, however it is really hot, turn it less.
Then theoretically anyway manufacturers provide packages depending on the temperature. Although sometimes you wonder if they have already raised their hands on their case after two hours.
If you can install software to control the temperature of the disc.
If it exceeds 50 ° is not good.
And your case is it broken? If this is not the case is likely that your hard disk exceeds this temperature.
After you have different solutions, add a small fan, use the box open, or blow over.
