<P><FONT SIZE=2>I run 8 of these in 2. Adaptec hot swap boxes (built in fans) with no problems but it's warm. When originally installed in the Dell sc420 drive slots (supports 4 drives, 2 installed, and oem drive), constant data failures and smart errors about overheating.<BR>
These drives run VERY HOT and need decent airflow to keep them in check<BR>

So far the reviews look good. I haven't used one. I have used mostly<BR>
WD drives lately, although I do have a couple of 80GB Diamond Plus 9 I<BR>
think they are. Other than one failing the day I installed it out of<BR>
the batch, the rest have worked great.<BR>
<BR>
It seems that generally Maxtor's merge with Quantum has managed to keep<BR>
producing very nice drives.<BR>
