Does the close proximity of a CRT monitor affect an external hard drive?

It may or may not. Depends on the quality of the CRT monitor AND the quality
of the external hard drive.
I.E. Proper shielding.

period of time. I wouldn't worry about it but on the other hand power of the
magnetism at 2" is 1/4 what it is at one inch. So if you have a little extra
