David,
1. ( I ain't no expert, but in my experience with a 200GB Seagate
drive
that I installed in a Venus DS3 firewire case( several months ago ),
which I don't believe has a fan, all is well so far. I felt very
uncomfortable without a fan, but since it is only a "clone" backup I
have tried it.
2. The firewire drive can be turned on while the CPU is running,
which
I do regularly, but to shut the firewire drive down, I do a shut down
of the CPU and then turn off the FW drive. I believe that you can
drag
the FW icon to the trash while the CPU is running, as long it has no
active files engaged, and then get a " do you want to do that"
inquiry
and say yes and then turn off the FW drive, but I haven't tried it for
fear I would somehow screw up my backup system on the FW drive. It
has
seemed easier to just shut down the CPU, turn off the FW drive and
then
restart up the CPU.

Bought a FW external box and drive (Seagate 120GB 7200rpm). I will
probably end up putting this inside my QS 933 tower and moving the
60GB ST360021A Barracuda Seagate out into the external case.
Couple of questions:
Thank you Don, the reason I prefer not to restart is that it drops my
dialup but you give other sound advice. I now have a case with a tiny
fan in it, not much room mind you, but a fan, all is very reasonably
quiet. I am now more comfortable!
