[SunRescue] Do Cudas run hot?

[Chris Byrne]

Scott,

Any recent seagate drive runs hot, and any 7200 runs hotter than a typical
5400 IDE or older SCSI drive. That being said, they shouldnt be a problem
assuming adequate ventilation. Now if it was a 10k or a 15k then we'd be
talking some SERIOUS case heat.

I just received my first supersellers order, a couple of 4GB 7200 RPM
Seagate Cudas ($29/each).  I'm planning on running one in an IPX.  Is this
drive notorious for running hot?


I noticed supersellers entered the shipment into the UPS tracking system
several _days_ before they actually shipped it.  If I hadn't read the UPS
tracking page carefully, I might have been fooled into thinking that they
shipped before they really did.  Sneaky...
