Sorry for the first email, too quick on the send button.

One thing to consider is the speed of the drive itself. I would suggest
considering a 5400 rpm drive instead of a 7200 rpm drive because of the
noise and heat differences. Some of the earlier FW enclosures were actually
a problem if you put a 7200 rpm drive in them.

the 7200 models.

Cheers,

Richard
