     I'VE OWNED A PRIAM ID60 DRIVE FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW WITH THE SAME
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.  THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU SPIN UP THE DRIVE IT
TURNS ABOUT 5 TIMES AND A RELAY KICKS OUT.  I'VE DETERMINED THE PROBLEM
TO BE A SENSOR FOR DISK SPEED IS GETTING DUST ON IT AND THE DRIVE THINKS
THE SPINDLE ISNT SPINNING SO IT FAULTS UNSAFE.  WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING
IS EVERYTIME THE PROBLEM REOCCURS I'VE CLEANED THE SENSOR.  THIS MAY
SOUND STUPID BUT IS THERE A WAY TO KEEP THE DUST FROM SUCKING INTO THE
SPINDLE AREA.
   ALL RESPONSES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
    RESPOND BY EMAIL OR PLEASE POST
