I've been running it more than a year with no issues. -Sam on 2/27/05 4:06 PM, JS wrote: > i'm looking to get a new internal hd for my Pismo and am waffling > between the 7200 and 5400 speeds. my main concern is heat. while i > know the 7200 won't overheat, i'm wondering about the long term side > effects of running hotter than the 4200 Pismo's were designed to > handle.
