First you must determine whether it is the drive or the fan that is making the noise: if it is the former, putting the drive to sleep will help, if it is the latter, then you might…

Its most definitely the drive. When I get up close to it I can hear 2 distinct sounds - the drive spinning and the fan. The fan noise is not bad but the drive has this constant d…

I got an email from a helpful user. He suggests placing the drive in a larger drive casing or piece of furniture with bubble wrap or styrofoam egg carton in between the two. Does…

Try taking the case apart and putting rubber washers between the the case and the hard drive. You might have to get longer screws. That will help isolate the drive from the soundin…

This is what I have done. Works very well for anyone interested. I cut out the back section of my desk which lies behind one of my drawers and removed the back end of the drawer.…

Hello, I have an old SCSI Zip drive, which I originally used with my old Quadra 660AV. I got a G3 All-In-One (AIO) last December, and have been using the Zip with it. As you may kn…

Allow me to answer myself. No. Asside from the fact that internal drives have to be sealed, which the de-cased Zip is not (obvious in 20/20 hindsight: i forgot about that rather la…

do you like the QUE! drive? i've been considering many usb cd-rw's for my lime wonder, but i think i've settled on the QUE!. I would apprieciate any thoughts, good and bad that you…

hi, the que is okay for my needs, mainly backing up mac files/volumes and some mix cds. as long as you have vm off, nothing else going on, and don't mind the time (the usb bottlene…

yeah! that does help, i think i'll buy one when i build up the scratch.

Ster: actually, the idea of ripping a zip drive from the blue shell is not as farfetched as you might think, despite the window. As you may have seen the external jaz drives have a…

actually, i got the drive case open quite easily. there are three little plastic tabs that you have to pry open, that's it. to clarify a bit, the scsi connector is, of course, exte…

What does "almost perfect condition mean". Sounds like a great deal. Why are you selling?

Animated images have been in a few of the signatures I have seen. I find these distracting, as they are usually not related to the topic, and draw your attention away from the foru…

I have none so here goes: LIGHTEN UP! Scott

Does he hate smilies too?

I like the smiles, as long as they don't animate. [This message has been edited by Simon Kornblith (edited 04-01-2000).]

Actually, the animating smileys are OK. They are too small to distract people. [This message has been edited by Simon Kornblith (edited 04-02-2000).]

Yah i gotta tell u, i hate them too...
