[CUBE] Barracuda IV reports 31.5 GB!

[Meirion Roscoe]

I have just put a Western Digital (as the original) 7200 RPM 120GB hard 
drive with 8MB cache into my cube and the speed difference using imovie 
3 is very noticeable.  the cube is as quiet as ever and runs no hotter 
than standard.  I'm No expert just an enthusiastic amateur.

Cheers
