<I heard those were hot and noisy - what do you think ?> Yeah, the Seagate Cheetah can get hot, I guess, which is why I have a special hard-drive cooler built into a drive-bay. What can I say? I'm a power-user. Noise is a bigger problem for me. The hard drive noise isn't vacuum-cleaner-loud, but it's loud enough. I keep my computer in my room, and the high-pitched sound coming out of the drive can be slightly irritating when I go to sleep, which is why I can't keep the computer on overnight. Right now I'm trying to figure out ways to power-down the hard drive under Win98, since the Standby mode fails to turn off the hard drive as well. I think the ACPI features in my computer haven't figured out how to power down my SCSI hard drive during standby. Perhaps the assumption is that no one who buys SCSI hard drives cares about power-management or noise. Tenchusatsu
