It won't burn out like the >"better" Barracuda. That's what fans are for. Nothing like a fan blowing over the top of your news server to keep it happy.

Datapoint: The "Conner" Barracuda runs considerably cooler than the "Seagate" Barracuda. -- Sonja Jo Krenz-Bush ServNet/Abstract Software sjkb@abstractsoft.com http://www.serv.net/~begonia ``Just another one of the flock following the herd.''
