can't correct but can strengthen your opinion. back in the late 90's i set up a DHCP relay server on a 386 AT&T globalyst laptop with, of course, a 2.5" HDD in it. it'd been running for years before everything got centralized and i sadly had to dismantle it.
we have many canon image runners (multifunct. printers) in our company - they have a 2.5" HDD beating in their chests and normally operate 24/7. certain server blades could hold 2.5" HDD drives, etc, etc... i'm sure there're loads more examples for 2.5" HDD running 24/7. cheers Harry > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of canuck15 > Sent: Samstag, 24.
