Hot - any drive runs warm without proper ventilation. Noisy - my case fan emits more noise than 4 Raptors together. Pricey per gigabyte - cheap drives = low mttf,loss of data,replacement expense on failure. . -- haunyack Transporter -> B&K Reference 200.2 -> Vandersteen 3A Signature. RWA (Analog) SB3 -> Rotel RB 1070 -> B&W Matrix 805. Fridgidare -> Mirror Pond pale ale -> easy chair w/remote -> irritated neighbors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haunyack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37039 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
