Hi ,
just a note that 75 gig IBM drives fail a lot from what I have read on
www.hardwarezone.com forums.
I have replaced several drives and all new drive now go in to removable alloy trays with front mounted fans.
Alloy trays = heat sinks.
so far I have not had a 7200 rpm drive die as yet, fingers crossed all drive in my system are now 1 year old.
I use a ATA100 controller and fat32 on my 98se drive and NTFS on all my other winxp drives.
my system is not in air conditioning and average day temp of 32C so my system and the server run hot 24/7.
I am now fitting Maxtor drives with extra front fans in all my customer system.
