You mileage may vary. as someone from cdc/imprimis said, seagate didn't change anything in the drives. so its just another label now. a hint, anyway: make sure your machine's fan keeps the drives cool (especially the big ones), they dissipate quite some heat. of course one should keep all machines/drives cool, but those cheapo fans often just don't make it. -- Heiko Blume <-+-> src@scuzzy.in-berlin.de <-+-> (+49 30) 691 88 93 public source archive [HST V.42bis]: scuzzy Any ACU,f 38400 6919520 gin:--gin: nuucp sword: nuucp uucp scuzzy!/src/README /your/home
