The capella 2 gig will cost me around $800 and the grand prix 4 gig around $1100. (This is in Sweden.) Are those disks temperature/cooling sensitive? I have a fujitsu 2694esa 1 gig now and it gets hot as hell on warm days. I would like to get a disk I can mount in my midi tower box without frying it.. Besides that, reliability and performance are the main issues. I don't really need 4 gig right now, but the price difference is to small to care very much about. (2 gigs extra for $300 seems cheap even if you don't need it :-) Thanks, _ Mats Lofkvist mal@algonet.se
