| Is it essential for one to have a fan? I am planing on getting a external HD. By essential i mean, should i get one with a fan if i am planing on using it for 3hours a day. |

Nop, I currently have around 3External's running most of each day...
I don't know what you mean by fan, but they are standard Maxtor and Western Digital drives... |

The HD will mostly be used for watching movies through my xbox360. So it have to survive min of 3hours a day without going crazy and collapse. |

I reckon it'll be fine...
Which External HDD do you have or wish to purchase?
I prefer WD...
Also you can connect your Xbox 360 to your computer a couple of ways...
1)Media Centre
2)Media Player Extender
3)Tversity (Thanks to Winrar for reminding)

Well, for movies it might not hurt to set up a small fan facing it while you are watching the movie _________________
