We're running the 4 gig versions in a couple of machines here. At least the batch we've got is a bit noisy (but then I like it if I hear when the machine is doing something). They get warm but not too hot (no problem mounting them in the 3 1/2 inch bay in a big tower with no fan blowing at them directly). But what counts for me is, they *scream*. Not only do they get in excess of 7MB/sec throughput through the filesystem, they perform excellent generally. I haven't had any probllems with them yet. They are not the new Atlas II drives, those should be faster even. We have 4 Gig Conners in those NT servers I couldn't prevent and they seem way slower, although they're not as nosiy.
