Matt - that is a very interesting observation.  If the drives run  
cooler, then they use less energy and so battery life is longer (as  
well as the benefit of a cooler laptop on the lap and improved  
environment for other components).

Has any one ever checked the power consumption (specifications) of  
like-for-like disks?  [same size, same speed]

This could be a new source of differentiation for hard disk  
manufacturers (in addition to size, speed, cache size, guarantee and  
of course price).

Anyone else got ¢2 on this issue?
