opened his gob and said:

Hi,
Got a mate who wants a reliable external HDD to share between Mac and
PC.
Can anyone recommend one that doesn't have crappy cooling that's going
to kill the internal drive eventually? Odie, if you're around, are
there any that you don't hate?
Ric

Odie advised me about an external h/d.

He steered me clear if branded ones, says they have inadequate
cooling.

He advised these http://www.span.com/catalog/ people for some decent
kit. He also likes Seagate h/ds.

I got an external case with a 300G Seagate.


The OP may want to have a look at the Pleiades range at Span
http://www.span.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=20_32 not cheap but good. I
have a LAN/USB2 version with a Seagate.
