The inferiority of Maxtor

[CJT]

I just junked a 160gb YAR41BW0 diamondmax, just a month out of warranty,
other than that, title says it all.

OTOH, I've run a flock of them 24 by 7 with no failures.

Yea, but a Dos Equis, Bock, Heinekin and Beck with three Defcon One hot
wings inside a 1/2 hour might help clear the air.

Pathetic, really.

Pathetic, really.

It seems that you didn't measure anything, otherwise you'd post the
numbers.

The SMART temp.

You know what it is. Its the temperature reported in the SMART data.

And the soup de joure is the soup of the day, but that's not what I
asked.

The temperature of the mechanical portion
of the HD is completely irrelevant.

Why? Isn't it most of the heat, and doesn't it cause the electronics
to run hotter?

Who cares ? Its clearly what the manufacturer
has decided is the temperature that matters.

Of that it's cheaper to implement the sensor that way and it's readings
are close enough.

There arent that many 7200 RPM drives that dont.

You just leave that one out of the collection, ****wit.

Why, when I can measure temps without SMART?

Rod, I'm really sorry to interrupt your drinking..

Or I didnt bother to record them, child.

Your problem.

Why?

Because different designs get rid of the heat differently, child.

Isn't it most of the heat,

Depends entirely on how the drive is used, child.

and doesn't it cause the electronics to run hotter?
Nope.

that way and it's readings are close enough.

Still better than your completely ****ed approach.

Because what you measured is useless, child.

Use a pencil the next time so your scotch doesn't smear the ink.

You'll never quit drinking excessively if you keep that attitude.

Nope.

So you're saying that a big chunk of aluminum less than 1/8" from the
chips doesn't make those chips hotter? That's not credible.

I'm glad you're not driving a motor vehicle at this moment.

Nope, not saying anything like that.

You're saying that you're both unconvincing and alcoholic. Why state

All I did was say that all but one HD I checked ran at about the same
temperature at their aluminum castings. You said 1) that wasn't true;
2) the casting temp. was irrelevant; 3) the electronics temp. was the
important temp.; 4) the casting temp had no effect on the electronics
temp.; 5) I did not wait 2 hours to measure temps.

Go back to shooting cockroaches with your pistol.

And that is a completely useless way to test that question.

3) the electronics temp. was the important temp.; 4) the casting

You're clearly a pathological liar. I never ever said any of that.
