	Sure--Dust and debris can plug the cooling fans and heat sinks--Vibration---Temperature--Moisture. Just some of the things that I have had to replace drives for. I don't understand: Also do the speed in run away that ? One of the remedies we used were sealed air tight enclosures with pneumatic vortex coolers: http://www.pneumatic-source.com/spotlight/index.php?p=90 __________________ Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand --Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
