Yes they do, too many people don't take that literally... these fish fry! I am just leery of anything with a single fan, as noted, because I've seen disk cans like the Trinketbox become disk _ovens_ when they contain a Barra and a bad fan. > Btw, the Web page for the Trinketbox mentions 'the new 10000 RPM drives'. > Anybody heard more details of these yet? Nope... but, curious. I have noticed that the new Seagate Hawk 1GB drives (31055N) can outperform the Barra 2G's (32550N) at some things, and I believe the Hawk's are still 5400 RPM... we are seeing technology move so fast. ...
