About the OD:  I've got one of those older cubes.  If your media starts to
spin-down every so often, you have a couple of options.  1) get a new drive.
2) get a refurbished drive  3) clean your drive.  I'm cheap.  Thus I do the
latter.  The quickie way is to get some compressed air and use the "straw" that
comes with the can of air.  Direct the air towards the lens of the OD, which
is located on the bottom half of the drive.  (Look at your media & how it goes
into the drive.  you can see where the lens is located.)

Don't forget to clean the media.

Usually, it seems that the drive itself is more often the problem.

You should by now have reversed the direction of the fan on the cube.  You want 
the air flow such that air enters via the back.  You also should have a OD
filter for your drive.  (It's kinda like the air filter for your gas furnace.)

Braver souls open up their cube periodically and blow the dust out.
