I think you are right, this post makes me vaguely recall
some issue with WD 3xxGB drives. I don't have any 3xxGB WD
drives though, so I didn't find it important to remember all
the details at the time.


I have one - it's my backup drive. I bought it in 1999, maybe 2000,
IIRC. Still runs just fine. I can't tell the temp because it doesn't
have SMART. I don't even put it in a tray with fans - the only fan is
in the removable bay.
