Dear FreeBSD'ers, thanks again for your public and private indications. Yet another couple of questions... I would like to mount one of the following disks on my ASUS P2-BF mobo (I run FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE): deskstar 40GV (40 GB), that is, http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/desk/ds40gv.htm deskstar 60GXP (>=40 GB), that is http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/desk/ds60gxp.htm deskstar 75GXP (>=45 GB), that is http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/desk/ds75gxp.htm I would like to utilize one of these disks on my workstation, which I stress even too much (for a worskstation), compiling quite a lot of code (e.g my own progs as well as ports, releases, persons at hand... :-) Are there any caveats (should I also mount supplementary fan(s), beware of possible ATA100 configuration issues on my UDMA33 machine, and suchlike) ? Should I prefer the slowest disk (5,400 rpm) for heat/stability/whatever reasons? TIA, Salvo *********************************************************************** No M$ technology was used for writing and sending this letter.
