     I've been following this group (comp.periphs.scsi) for quite some
time, and I would say that the "poster boy" label would fit you better
than Harvey.  I have not seen him making any personal attacks.  While I
don't necessarily agree with Harvey, I also don't "name call" when I
disagree.  And, if I really "disagree", I just enter them into my kill
file, which currently has 90+ entries ....

     Yes, and, of the postings that I recall, many of them mentioned
that the dead/dying Barracuda was "too hot to touch".

     I've had a 12550N Barracuda since June/July of last year, and it's
been running fine.  However, I've been very careful to keep it *cool*.
I would be willing to admit that there *might* be a problem with the
32550 Barracuda, though.

     As a side note, I'm currently toying with getting a 4GB drive, and
the 15550 Barracuda is one of the drives that I'm considering ....
