wrote: Hello Bob, Cooling was not an issue as each drive in my computer has air flow on ALL surfaces. I suspect a bad run of the drives - or a bad desigh as Seagate only made these drives for a short time. Then went with a new part number...! 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 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. -- "It's impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury.
