From what I recall from my somewhat scattered memory, these drives were used almost exclusively in Enterprise/Server situations. There heat didn't really matter that much because of the expanded cooling abilities of the server combined with the temperature controlled room.
I may very well be wrong, but I though WD still made SCSI drives, just the normal Joe couldn't get one. I think they are pretty strict OEM. That is a pretty good price though! -Robyn On Friday, October 4, 2002, at 04:58 PM, Frank wrote: > Purchased one of these - just to use as back up.
