Thanks for the advice. In regards to the overheating, I'm aware my drives run a little hot that's just mainly due to the case I use atm but they don't ever go over 41C in high usage times. The flash remount plugin I've uninstalled for the moment and am waiting for the problem to reappear. In the event that it doesn't reappear all I've done so far is completely remove the VPN tunnel as the host settings were still there and of course the Flash remount plugin.
Will update within 5 days uptime should it not appear before than.
