I think you may have something there, as it's the bottom disc of two in a rather tight 3.5" rack down the bottom of my case. There's no space between the drives to speak of but there is a fan sucking air in just below that. The top disc has been running fine for a few years now without problems. Maybe it's time to get a better ventilated case. The one I have is very tall but seems rather cramped inside. I wonder if putting the drives in a 5.25" slot with an adaptor would be better as they'd have more air space or even in one of those drive coolers that fit into a 5.25" slot. Mind you, I'd need a bigger case then. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
