[G4] experience with AcomData hard drives?

[Craig Turner]

I bought an AcomData 160 GB external firewire drive about 10 months  
ago, to hold extra files, mainly graphics. It works very well with  
OSX, but I will warn you: about three months into my ownership the  
fan got significantly louder. This doesn't hurt performance, but it  
has a kind of rattle that is annoying (esp. compared to the second  
external I have from OWC, no fan). I wrote to tech support asking if  
there was a way to fix it, but they never responded.

If your drive does get noisier over time, perhaps you'll have a place  
under your desk to locate it?

YMMV,
