Hi all, I've recently built my first ever server with a pre-compiled kernel (2.6.4 from backports.org). I had two 160GB SATA disks which both failed after only a couple of months. I found this extremely strange, unless they were from a bad batch (not likely in this day and age). They've gone back to my supplier as faulty anyway.
One thing I did notice is that the disks were rather hot, abnormally imo. The server is hardly stressed, as it's pretty much providing DNS, SMTP, and IMAP for all of one user! :) Motherboard is an ASUS A7N8X. What I am wondering is, is there some type of power saving mode / setting that I might have missed, a module perhaps? Or do these new fangled disks just run very hot? I've replaced them with two Samsung 160GB PATAs, and they're quite warm after only an hour or so, but admittedly they are doing a RAID sync.
