Once again, my novice status has been flushed out. I'm not sure what the sensor is for. >but this tape isn't any requirement, it's simply >to keep the wires from moving around, and there's little or no danger >if the tape isn't replaced. Once, one my enclosure fans seemed to be over-running and someone suggested that I may have the sensor taped in the wrong place. Correct place, they said, is in the center of the HD, and that seemed to help. So, maybe it's the Enclosure Temp Sensor of which I speak. If electrical tape will work, I'm good with that. Why use Kapton tape to begin with? I wonder. Thanks for all the responses.
