With all due respect to the Google research that says hot drives aren't a problem, I don't buy it. Warm drives, maybe, but I've seen plenty that get painfully hot, and those drives did become unreliable. When I've built, or rebuilt, systems so that the drives don't roast, they seem to last well. You also want to minimise vibration. Use all four screw mount points, and firmly. If you hear it buzzing, that's not good. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
