Kevin, >> Are the drives staying dead? That's sort of the test. << yeah, I have a disk that has been dying and then coming back to life sporadically for months. It's an old 760mb full height Siemens drive from when that was considered huge. >> suspect either heat or design problems. They will heat up, and ideally should be in external cases with a fan. << I am considering putting them in external cases, but I bought big towers and now there's little space left to put the external cases. Most of the Indigo2's have that arrangement. Martin
