yeah according to your updates , they have great service, but they need to get their shit together in the assembly line for the IcePack.
i had good service like that but without any major assembly problems  with seagate & crucial :D




I guess there's always a 1st person who uncovers a problem, in any system, I musta just been the lucky one :/

Coz Velociraptors run hot :)

I guess it's really just the principle, They are supposed to come with Icepack heat sinks

/e I have a 300GB Velociraptor in my system now...so there isn't really any hurry :)

Yeah,, and now that I got a chance to test the new Velociraptors..aka Sata III, 64MB cache...they only run at ~225Mb's...so even though I have a SATA III mobo..even when the get the right one shipped..it stil won't saturate even the SATA II bus.

I know they are screw on, BUT they have 1/2 ass tamper proof screws, and WD said...You remove or install one into an Icepack it voids the warranty.
Like I said, I have a 300GB Velociraptor IN the comp now...so really there is no hurry.
They DO get hotter than regular HDD's and because I got 3 HDD's right smack in front of my 230mm intake fan...I dun think it would be a good idea to blow air into the case over a Velociraptor that is hot :)

For sure, those drives hit ridiculous temps
I think 62 is max for my black and the vr can hit 80~ I've heard, on extreme runs.
that's just all that 10k rpm on a 2.5" platter set lol

Well the UPS truck just dropped off another HDD...yes, yes, it feels heavy enough to have an Icepack....Ghot cautiously opens the box, an lo and behold...a WD 500GB Velociraptor...WITH an Icepack.

I guess the 5th try is the charm
:D


/e So ends the WD 500GB Sata III Velociraptor (with no Icepacks) SAGA....all rejoice, that party will be at...........Shaft's house tonight :D
