I had a similar experience years ago. I was working for a company where the owner was greatly impressed by SCSI. I had to install a number of workstations with SCSI hard drives, they were typical Taiwanese-clone type PCs with SCSI hard drives installed. SCSI hard drives typically have higher rotational speeds (and therefore more heat output) than the IDE drives that the cases are designed for. So the drives overheated and failed. After that IDE drives were purchased and everything was fine. Maybe your experience was similarly related to heat, maybe it was something different. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
