That doesn't sound too bad, but you might want to check the drive manufacturer's physical spec sheets to determine temperature range. A quick browse over http://hdd.fujitsu.com/global/drive/ suggests that they can generally tolerate up to 120F. You might check out your specific model number. -po _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
