Mine has been running pretty much full time for two years. It is a lot quieter and cooler to the touch than the Toshiba 3 1/2" drives on my machine at work. I also like its feature allowing the SCSI controller to command it to spin up. That allows me to sequence the starting transients just enough that my UPS doesn't beep at me any more when I turn the machine on. On the down side, it's old, big, and slow, but then so am I. -- David E.
