Mark, The micropolis 1.6 gig drive (2217A) will run hot. My rule of thumb is if you can leave your hand on the drive it is not too hot! Another thing to do is move the drive away from other HD's, extra fans also work great. You talked about problems with the drive, if your are getting corrupt data, heat can cause problems, also earlier versions of the software caused problems so make sure that you are using version 1.5 of the PAR software. -Mike
