I'm thinking of using Quantum Bigfoot to keep temperature down in an SMP
server I expect to run 7/24. Disk performance is not critical for my apps
and those Quantums (5.25", I think 5400 rpm)run cool & are cheap. Good
transfer rates, but not as fast on seeks as 3.5" drives.
Anyone got experience with 18 gig Bigfoot?
