Hmm, will have to think about those ideas. I too have a WD2500(JB?) that runs well in the 1100 and doesn't seem to get too hot - warm but not hot. The WD800(BB?) in the 1000 doesn't seem to get too hot but occasionally has issues. I never noticed any problems when it was in the 1100, or when it was my primary drive in a P4 D865GLCLK based computer. When I had the Seagate 500GB pair (7200.10's) in the 2000 it would occasionally hang on trasfers but I have had no problems with them in a 2200. These were purchased new when put in the 2000 and moved over to the 2200 (and rebuilt under 4.0.860) after several months. These do seem to run warmer than any other drives I have dealt with. The CPU fan in the 2000 turned on quite often where it almost never turns on with the two original Quantum 30GB drives. I think I will look for an older drive to try in the 1000 to see if it is more stable.

When the 1000 goes into panic mode, is there anything you can do? I tried pressing the start and reset buttons in various combinations but it never seemed to do anything. I eventually unplugged the power brick, let it sit for a minute, plugged it back in and it fired right up with no problems. Checked the logs and it doesn't indicate anything.

Thanks for the info, JELo
