Brian, I opened the disk drive and found that the fan was rated at 12V. I tried it at 5 volts anyway with no improvement. I built a small shelf behind my disk for it, so now the noise doesn't bother me, it's still quieter than the one for my Apple. I have version 1.1. Occasionally I get a "Software Error" requester while ASSEMBLING a program. I hope that's a problem with the Tecmar hardware! Otherwise I've noticed nothing out of the ordinary, although I've only had it a few days. Sometimes when one of my program bombs and I re-boot, the xDHD must be validated, which takes some time, but it's always come back (with a sigh of relief; I still don't trust it yet!) I am in Sylmar, which is 12 mile north of Hollywood, CA. — Mike
