Yes, I see. If one wanted to ensure an orderly flow thru of air (whether with an extra fan or not) I guess one could either modify that removable panel or replace it with something that just had a slot for the ribbon. Food for thought. It would be neat if the ribbon cable was short and snug, but mine is a full-scale long job with three connectors and a not insubstantial attached terminator (a circuit board encased in plastic, about double matchbox in 2 dims, thinner but). Its natural home would be a tower. Yes, I *can* get it in nevertheless. > If you are going for full LVD performance you will need a SCSI card and > ribbon cable that supports LVD without adapters. Without adaptors? My Seagate has an 80 pin connection and nothing else, so it has to have some adaptor to get the 4 pin power surely? The LVD compliant cards I have looked out for have 68 pin connectors. (True, I am running it at the moment (in a test rig, lid off! for short periods of time) in SE mode on an ATTO and it is faster than I have ever had.
