on of our RaQ still lives fine long time with a IBM-DTLA-307030 ... but
it's the only drive and
it did in fact consume a lot of power (up to 10W) ... so a second won't
fit into our system ...

nock on wood that it will be further ;-)

by the way ... the 80GB Seagate is the ST38002xA serie which by the way
need between 8 - 13 Watt !!!! and the ST3500A is a far old 500MB serie *lol*

maybe if it runs in your system ... its ok ... but I won't try to kill my
power suply with such a big beast ... but I fear what would be in about a
year when there is no 40GB available anymore ;o)
