IMPORTANT NOTE:

I just learned a valuable lesson! IF you screw a block across the HDD motor on each side... like this...

MAKE SURE the block does not press the motor (i.e. - make sure you have about 2 thousandths clearance on the motor with the block tightned down.

Mine was pressing on the motor and eventually caused the drive to have physical errors... I'm still trying to get an accurate Ghost image off of the RAID pair.

This apparently warped the casing of the drive, throwing the platters out of alignment with the heads... USE CAUTION WHEN PUTTING ON THIS KIND OF SOLUTION!!!

I may change over to a drive cage made with copper and water channels.
