Well neither really,2 scsi drives are placed adjacent 2 each other
both are on there sides,one of the drives gets very very hot when its
been on a couple of hours and I thought this might be causing problems
to the controller board of the other,gap between the 2 drives is about
1 inch.theres no other place to mount the drives so thought that
spinning the drives down when not needed would be a good idea,
Obviously not.

Any other suggestions.
