I assembled my external drive enclosure this morning and noticed a bug crawling around inside it; I hadn&rsquo;t used the enclosure in a while. I decided not to interrupt what I was doing to remove it, so I closed the enclosure and hoped for the best.</p> <p>About an hour later, while moving files from my laptop onto the drive, I heard a dreadful &ldquo;blugrrrrrrrrrrrr.&rdquo; I looked over and said, &ldquo;Oh no!&rdquo; For a few seconds, I thought the hard drive was failing. Then I realised the bug had tried to crawl out through the little fan.</p>
