This was one of the reasons I didn't worry that my new drive wasn't
the fastest thing on the block. I'd rather wait a nonosecond longer
and hope the drive will last better. (Seagate 160gig, 7200, pc100)
One thing that surprised me was that there is a temperature sensor
for the hard drive itself. Hadn't seen that before..

Trouble is, only Everest (Was AIDA32), seems able to display it..
