Hi John,

Seagate's are very good and they run cool and quiet, I've been running them in servers for years and they have been very reliable. Try to get one in a good aluminum case, it will dissipate heat better. Also if you are using a powered USB 2.0 hub to plug your drives into, you might look into one of those little USB personal desktop fans, plug it into the 2.0 hub and point it at or between the drives if their getting hot.
