Hi Bobby,
Thanks for your reply - Tom's hardware is a good site - good link.
I see that the new 30Gb Seagate was found to run hot, and has vibration issues.
Are there similar sites using Linux as the OS? It would be great to see similar tests performed under Linux.
I have, in the meantime, gone for a swop-out to a new 30Gb IBM IDE drive - speed same. Now, I wonder if anyone has tested this drive???
A have received advice that these high rpm (7200 rpm and above) drives need to be cooled down. There are special HD fans. Recent servers from Compaq for example have a big fan that cools the the internals and pulls in the cool air from slits in between the HD mounts so they get cooled.
