I am not so sure about this statement. The newer drives are far more ruggedized and superior in constuction. For e.g. the newer EE25 are designed to "operate" @ 1) Operating temperatures of –30°C to 85°C 2) Operating altitudes from –1000 feet to 16,400 feet 3) Operating vibration up to 2.0 Gs 4) Long-duration (11 ms) shock capability of 150 Gs where as the older ST9385AG: 1) Operating temperatures of 5° to 55°C (41° to 131°F) 2) Operating altitudes from –1,000 ft to 10,000 ft (–300 m to 3,000 m) 3) Operating vibration up to 0.5 Gs 4) shock capability of 100 Gs Source: http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_ee25_2.pdf http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/manuals/ata/9655pma.pdf saqib http://doctrina.wordpress.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
