Well, as "expected", no clear concensus regarding 4G drives! :-/ I've been chasing down specs in the hopes of predicting how hot these guys run. Unfortunately, there seems to be little correlation between Pd and reported case temperatures (and I note that the 3243 I was chasing seems to be one of the nastiest wrt Pd!). Are these things comfortable in an external enclosure (e.g., two drives in a dual drive enclosure with a single fan)? Just how "hot" is "hot"? Likewise, is Icc(startup) going to require sequencing the spindles on the drives? Or, is this of such a transient nature that it is inconsequential (me thinks the supplies are 60W)? Again, thanx for any advice/pointers! --don
