Re: [BLUG] Trying something new

I've certainly had the least luck with WD drives
(five fails before three years) in PC uses and swear
by scsi as well. I'm pretty hard on drives and used
to get them worryingly hot routinely until I started
putting a little thermal paste on the sides when
mounting them in a permanent home. It may just be
superstition but it keeps even my 15K cheetah cool
during hard swap times w/o the use of a specific hard
drive fan. :D
