I can't speak for the 7200 and 10000rpm IBM disks, as I have never been able to source them when I've been considering them. I can say that IBM go to considerable lengths to make their cooling data available (see the product pages for their drives), and they do appear to be comparable if not somewhat better than the competition. OTOH, we have been running a 9GB Seagate Cheetah in Freefall holding the CVS repository, and despite being far and away the busiest disk in the system it has kept its cool quite well. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
