I boot from the older one (80 G) and have a 1T drive and 250G drive daisied to it. I agree with the fan issue. seems to run than I'd like and is significant white noise. In general they work for me, but I'm interested in the problem you report. Here's my version. I've been using the 1T drive mostly to boot from when doing AV big file stuff so that I'd have sufficient scratch disc space. Occasionally when booted from the (lets call it a 2.0 mini) things freeze up with the spinning ball. If I eject the 1T drive the problem disappears. Maybe an address problem or something. I'll have to remember to find the Log next time. Otherwise I've been happy with the Mini Stacks and just bought another 2.5 with a 1T Seagate drive so that I can back up one to one. I also took advantage of a recent (current?) Seagate deal (see their site) on their 500G FreeAgent firewire drive. hth Cliff -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
