If that's the 1.2 GB model, we had to return one or two due to
either noise problems of media failure.  Our units were
internal units in NeXTcubes, and frankly we suspect that
inadequate ventilation might have been a contributing
factor to the problems, since several Maxtor 1.2 GB
drives have also acted up inside cubes. 

Perhaps it's time for someone to market a second fan for
cubes that would blow filtered air though a replacement
back panel with holes or something...
