How warm were these IBM drives running?
It seems than in a typical PC case, with standard cooling these things
could fry bacon!
With some airflow modifications in the case, I have been able to pull nearly
20 degrees of the drive temp.

I would rather have purchased Quantum drives as I have had a failure rate of
zero in the last 7 years, but now they are Maxtor (Who I would not even spit on).
I figured IBM were the next best thing.
Plus, IBM still lists warranty at 3 years, where the others have dropped to 1.
