I have looked around searching for software to enable the AAM on my WDC 80gb. The problem is that I haven't found anything yet and that i'm not sure if the drive even has the function built in.. it would be superb if I could slow down the drive because it's the only source of whine in my computer ri...

thakns ralf. i guess i could have found that out by myself. but thanks for coping with me

I bought my sonata recently and thought of buying a usb 2.0 card to transfer images from my new digicam faster. my question is where to ask for these usb 2.0 ports, and how much they cost..

I live in sweden, so I guess I should contact the european branch..?

ok now the sonata has arrived and the new AMD 2400+ is running inside. for the moment I'm running 4 hard drives, which means a full sonata array. I use the 120mm that came along with the case and also a Papst 120mm in the front. the maxtor temps are very satisfying now. it stabilizes around 35 degre...

hello aphonos! (btw, your nick means 'with no sound' in greek) actually i'm running the drive outside the case because i'm waiting for a Sonata and some new components. the ambient temp in the room is about 24 degrees C. the maxtor has now reached 55 degrees maximum, without any load. I dont really ...

addyngan, I dont use AAM yet, but looking at the temp from dtemp is frightening. the drive has been idle for about an hour and the temp is 48 degrees Celsius!! that's awfully high! it started at around 28 degrees, and now 48. :( EDIT: now it has reached 51 degrees. damnit I hate sending back product...

got my maxtor 160gb recently too. But it gets so hot that I'm very afraid of using it. I hadn't have the opportunity to check temps with software, but the "feel temp" is 10 times hotter than my 80gb WD.

what software do you recommend to check the hdd temp? i really have to check this up .. :O

CoolerMaster ATC-410-SX1 is a wonderful case, both as for the looks but also the interior.

problem is that I cant find where to buy one and that such case will probably cost a fortune... =/

hmmm, I dont really understand the function of the spring... :O
