[Hudlug] SCSI drives vs EIDE for Crimbo

[Shak]

Hi Anne,

Thanks for your kind offer, however I do not think that the air circulation around my hard disks can be the error. This is because I am running my system in a way that I have 2 fans taking the air in at the front, two at the back taking it out, and then two on the hard disks themselves. I have some spare fans and Ill take my drives out of the caddies and see if they run any more effectively.

Thanks.
Shak

Shak - I don't know whether it would help your problem or not.  Most of the 
recommendations I have seen have been for improving air circulation.  
However, if you want to try it without committing yourself, I have a couple 
that you could borrow.  If you like it you can simply buy me replacements.

I bought them when they first came out, intending to install them in this box, 
but never got a round tuit.

Anne
