They seems to be good drives but the old 4.3's I have, have all been dumped
because of spindle wear, course they ran in servers 24/7 for about 2.5
years, they never died on me just made a lot of noise till I was told I
could change them cause they were driving the users that sat next to the
servers nuts. Plus they also ran hot.
