C catalyst1 BSOD Messages 2,734 Aug 27, 2005 #14 I don't understand why you are stressing ventilation so much. It isn't really a problem with most external drives. As for the speed, anything less than 7200 RPM will probably be fairly noticeable. Why not just go with 7200?

Click to expand... no I wasn't joking, if the thing gets too hot, unplug it, let it cool down for a bit then plug it back in if you need it. or get whatever you want off of it, then unplug it for a while. and ventilation is not a big issue with externals.
