There's a small chance that plugging the molex connector in backwards will void your warranty. So, you thought that since it's a 10krpm drive, you could drive the motor at 5V instead of 12 and have 4300rpm, but then run the circuit board at 12V so the bits would travel faster through the circuitry, doubling the throughput? :) _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
