Seagate 7200.11 failure

What temps are you running at?
Mine are all inbetween 40° and 45° with a 120mm fan on 3 of them and a Vantec VTX on the Raptor - yet it still sounds like an anvil in gravel when writing or reading from the drive.

That seems a bit hot. My 3 HDDs run between 28'C and 35'C with 1 x 80mm fan blowing at them from the front of the case. Case is a relatively cheap Chenbro Gaming Bomb.

Not sure about Raptor average temps though.

That's real cool compared to mine. Are you in a air conned room?
 
Mine are all 25-30 degrees with 1 96mm fan blowing on all 3. No aircon by me...

The article I had a look at stated that OEM drives will be dropping to 3 years while the normal retail ones will still have 5 years.

Rectron just dropped Seagate warranty to 3 years limited warranty (for the customers' benefit).

How do we benefit from this again? :confused:

"Enhance the business proposition for channel customers".
"Make the warranty program more attactive, and provide more value to you and your customers".

What's the bet prices won't drop?
