Hi there fellow PLUGgers,
Please pardon the extremely off-topic hardware "what do you think about
this" e-mail. I am sorry for wasting your precious bandwidth.
I plan to upgrade and add a Barracuda ATA-II hard drive (ST330630A). This
will be the second hard drive of my system that I leave on 24x7 and don't
attend to daily (I'm normally in school). Things have been okay so far,
but I want to preempt possible thermally-related problems by mounting
(physically) the hard drives in what are called mobile racks. I got the
following link which may be helpful in the evaluation of this particular
product:

Any comments, please? I was hoping for "go get it" versus "don't even
think about that chunk of plastic" comments. BTW, my supplier's selling
these to me for P600 each, FWIW.
Orly: you're using Barracuda's right? What do you think about them? So far
so good? I'm planning to use the ST330630A for my primary drive, then I'll
use my existing 20GB IBM DJNA as the second element of my RAID1 set,
mirroring a partition of exactly the same size on the Barracuda. :-)
Thanks in advance, and again, apologies. :)
