[G5] Adding Disk Drives

[David DelMonte]

Nick, I think I may have chosen problematic drive enclosures. They  
are plastic and I suspect the drives overheated. For info. one drive  
was a Hitachi/IBM and the other a Maxtor. It's tough to lose 400GB.

Also, all of my equipment is power controlled through a large APC UPS  
device.
