Do you have the same problem with the new/refurbished drive? If so, have you tried pointing a fan at it? The new one arrived a few days ago, and so far, so good. The disk is always used inside, where there is air conditioning (about 28 degrees C or so at most). Curiously, the disk gets hotter in th...

The rubber bumpers between the internal drive and its case may be insulating it, preventing effective heat transfer to cool the drive. Checking the PDF data sheet at their site, it looks as though the drive is rated for use in environments up to 35° C. While you may be in an air conditioned buildi...

For the record: It worked fine since November 2008, but started overheating and blocking the Mac when the ambient temperature reached about 40 degrees Celsius, even though the disk was inside a refrigerated building. The cooling was just to recover data from the disk without the Mac blocking. Believ...

Is there a way to REFRIGERATE an external mobile disk? It is used to boot Macs at home and at work (a way to carry all the work from one place to another), and overheats, blocking the Mac.

Thanks.

sounds impressive to me... although I won't be buying one as it is too much $$$ for me I wonder if this will be quiet, or if it'll sound like a whiney laptop fan I do not have that model (released today), but the two previoous ones are absolutely quiet (bedroom quiet; you do not hear them at all). ...

Well, we've (some friends and I) probably bought close to 80 Samsung F1 drives, and so far the failure rate has been more than acceptable, but not all raid cards will play nice with them. the 10^15 URE rate is better than 10^14 seagate specs their drives to, for one. However, the 7200.11 series fro...

Always have a backup of any drive, small or large. The size is irrelevant. The backup is not.

Hello, Here's a review of the 1TB F1: http://techreport.com/articles.x/14200 And here's the juicy bit: http://techreport.com/articles.x/14200/14 Amazing, taking into account that the Western Digital Green Power drives are 5,400 rpm and not 7,200 rpm as the Samsung SpinPoint F1 is.
