Just wanted to confirm whether this was something to be concerned about. There's this plug-in looking thing or something that glows in red when my PS3 is on. Idk if it was there before. Recently my entire PS3's data was restored because I think I didn't do something right (either turning system off with game running or ejecting disc when it started) that caused my HDD to become corrupted. But again it was restored when I finally got the PS3 to work properly again (which thank god it finally did) Still kinda freaking out about that, don't want to lose my data, and I don't think I can store any data externally (i have the new 80GB PS3)

So idk if I need to worry about anything or not.
