On many drives, orientation certainly can have an
effect. What
orientation was it previously used in?
The drive has always been mounted on its side in the Ridge CPU chassis. I
may try flipping it to the other side and see if it makes any kind of
difference.
Also thermal - have you tried chilling and heating the drive?
I have not, I'd only consider that sort of thing as a last resort. What
kind of temperatures would you recommend?
Thanks,
