Since you've guys got this thread going, I've got something to add. I cracked my case open on my server that has 2 Western Digital 120GB hard drives and my new (SATA) 300GB Seagate, with an old 20GB Western Digital.
Well, immediately noticed the interior was extremely hot, so grabbing a digital thermometer, I test the tops/sides of the drives. The two 120GB (one a new warranty replacement and one original) Western Digitals read 115-120F! The 300GB SATA Seagate and older 20GB Western Digital were 100F. So, in brief, I yanked the two 120GB Western Digital drives out. Not worth the risk of heating up my good Seagate main hdd or my other CD-RW devices. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Sun May 20 21:12:28 PDT 2007 _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
