I run SCSI only, and I've wanted to buy a Ultra160 scsi drive, even though (AFAIK) we don't yet support Ultra160, because I think we will do that. The only affordable one, until last week, was a Seagate model, but I'd been warned that it ran red hot, and having already lost two drives to heat about 3 years ago, I'm just not willing to go down that road again. Well, according to pricewatch, now you can buy the IBM DPSS-318350 18.3G 7200rpm drive (Ultra 160) for $375, and the only thing stopping me is that I can't find anyone who's used it to tell me if it runs as cool as most recent IBM drives, or if it's a hot puppy like the Seagate. Anyone have any info regarding the DPSS-318350 and heat? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
