If the cooling fan hasn't been replaced, it may be time. I think the 1000 use the same fan as the 2000 which is a Sunon KD1205PHB3, 52x52x15mm, 4300 rpm, 8.5 cfm, 0.7w, 22.5dba. The 52mm fans are harder to locate, just stay under 30 dba if you want it quite. I was able to fit in a 50mm with out any problems, since it only uses 2 mounting holes. The upgraded fan delivered 13cfm, with slighly more noise 28dba.

You will need to update the snapos, you are setting on version 2. Your bios >2 will allow for harddrives >137 gig. Your current os will limit you to 130 gig, remember there is some overhead for the os. V4 opens the door for larger drives. If you are not seeing full capacity of you current drive, you will need to issue "config devices format 10000 /reinit" from debug. The snap will restart then reformat the harddrive, you will have full capacity when it is completed.

As for updates, I would upgrade to v3.4.803 first. You can jump to v4 with out going through v3 if you like. Then up to v4.0.830. DO NOT UPGRADE TO V4.0.860. There are numerous reports that v4.0.860 turns the Snap1000 & 2000 into door stops, the 4.0.855 seams not to have the problem. Don't take the chance. If you replace the drive before doing the upgrade, you may have to issue the format /reinit cmd to gain full capacity.

As for replacement snaps. I prefer the raid versions 2200, 4100 etc .... The 2200 can run raid 0 & 1, where the 4100 have 0,1 & 5. The performance of the 2200 blows away the older 2000's. I run in redundacy (data protection) mode Raid 1. There is a fundamental difference between the early models and the later ones. All of the newer models store the OS on the hard drive, NO FLASHRAM, standard boot bios. If you have a harddisk failure (not in raid 1 or 5) you will have to copy the boot tracks to your new harddrive before installing it.

The 4X00 are rack mountable. MisterBill or poogles_uk can give you more detail on the 4X00. I only have the 2000 and 2200 model (600gig), with the 2000 dead right now.
