Seagate 15k.5

[The JoJo]

Hi fellas!

Anyone been using the above mentioned HD's, any experience from workstation usage / general experience from it?

Getting a few of those to some workstations, the 68pin 146GB version, wondering how they have been behaving. Looking at the SR review now.

If they are like the 15K RPM models that I have used, they move the heads every 15-20 seconds. This is to prevent heat build up under the heads. It can be annoying, but the ones I am familier with are about 5 years old. New models might be quieter.

I hear the 2.5" models are much quieter.
