That seems to be within the manufacturers specs. > Is that reasonable for long term health of drive? It depends on whether that's the drive temperature or the ambient temperature in the case. I'd say it's pretty reasonable for the ambient temperature (assuming it's a warm late spring where you live iike it is here), but rather high for the drive itself. The drives should be running around the mid-80's. You might try spacing the drives out or positioning them nearer an exhaust fan if you can. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
