Well here's my not-very-scientific report of things:

Drive replacement went without a hitch, from an 80GB to the 750GB, using the established procedures in the Wiki (HD->img, then img->HD). The reformat after putting the image on the drive took about 6 minutes, formatted capacity is 701,994 MB

As for the heat issue, using my very accurately calibrated hand <wink>, it seems to run at about the same temp as my other 1100 with the factory 80GB Maxtor drive in it, and it actually runs a little cooler than an 1100 with a WD 250GB drive.

Just thought inquiring minds would like to know!
