I have a Segate Barracuda 18 GB Ultra2 LVD (7200 rpm) drive. I am currently using it via Microtech's Fire/SCSI adapter. It works pretty decent except that I have to have a hefty 50 pin LVD SCSI cables. The drive is also very loud due to the fan. It also requires external power source. I was wondering if there was a way to convert it completely to a firewire drive, using 6 pin firewire cable so that the computer would provide the drives power. (Meanwhile, I have no idea what to do to eliminate the fan without causing overheating.)



Any tech gurus on the board? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
