fans, fans, fans....
I bought a HDD fan when I built this comp for no very good reason.
Now, I'm installing them 4 or 5 times a week. If your comp gets dodgy come hot weather a HDD fan may be your solution ( those of you with airconditioning can ignore this ). Check your case for ventilation grids, and, if it's opposite the HDD, install the fan and watch the problems disappear. I buy CoolerMaster from CompUSA but I'm betting any other quiet fan will do the job. You get peace of mind for, around here, $8.00.

I've been using the Coolermaster DCD-4002 and Cooldrive 3 hard drive housings on all my 10000 rpm drive installations. Not only does it cool the drive, it quiets it down some too.
