- If that's the 1.2 GB model, we had to return one or two due to
- either noise problems of media failure. Our units were
- internal units in NeXTcubes, and frankly we suspect that
- inadequate ventilation might have been a contributing
- factor to the problems, since several Maxtor 1.2 GB
- drives have also acted up inside cubes.

- Perhaps it's time for someone to market a second fan for
- cubes that would blow filtered air though a replacement
- back panel with holes or something...
