Hi.  We have ordered a few Seagate st1480 (~426 MB) hard drives to install
in various workstations here ( DECstations, VAXstations, etc. ).

Well, it is time to install one in my SS1 (the only Sun here, sniff) and I
have noticed a number of articles referring to problems with heat buildup
in the pizza box when installing high capacity drives.

My SS1 has a single 104MB drive in it currently, and I expect to just
plunk the new drive in the space normally consumed by the second drive.
Is there any problem with this?  Have YOU installed this particular drive
in your SS1, and can you point out any possible problems I may encounter?

Thanx in advance.
