I cannot attest to that one, but I have a Metal Gear II external drive enclosure that is fanless, it's been trouble-free since I got it about two or so years ago <http://tinyurl.com/cezju7> I like it a lot. Been on 24/7 most of the time as it was my backup drive before Time Machine and my Time Machine volume after that (until I ran out of space. Now the TM volume is a WD MyBook that lives under the desk because of the noise. (It doesn't have a really loud fan but the whole thing vibrates, and on a cheap office desk surface it turns into a sounding box.) You can hear the drive noise in the Metal Gear, but it's really quiet otherwise, suitable for most environments, unless you're doing really exacting audio recording. -- Bruce Johnson U of Az College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions don't have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
