Other than the fact that I often end up pulling them out and replacing them with 2 x ST32550N for speed? :-) (two mechanisms are faster than one). > Thanks for the information, folks.

Got a couple dozen of the 31055's, I think one infant death, faster at some operations than the Barra's. Only been using them for about three months however. NICE drives, from what I can tell, would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend. I would project the same results to the 32155's. ;-) ...
