But I don't think that the problem originates with the drive. In fact, it looks like you have a problem with your case design - the disk is claiming to be running a lot hotter than it was designed for. The resulting out-of-spec expansion of all of the disk components is probably the real cause of all of the other errors. </blockquote><div> 39 degrees celsius is not bad at all for an HD. Anything below 45 degrees celsius is good (the maximum advertised temperature is in general 60 degrees celsius). </div></div> -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
