Actually, you and I both know that's not true because we know that power dissipation is only part of the equation. There's also the question of *where* the power is turning most fully into heat and how effective your air conditioning (or other heat transfering metal-to-metal contact) is at that point. You're also assuming that the power dissipation specs for hard drives can always be believed, something I actually have strong reason to doubt in at least several cases. Jordan
