Then I think I'll order the hard drive caddy. I don't really need running 2=
=20
disks all the time. I'll just use one with Linux, and keep the other hard=
=20
drive for the few times (once a month?) that I still depend on Windows.=20
Stopping the hard drive with hdparm seems fine; maybe just removing the=20
caddy and keeping it in the bag would work fine with me, as well.
Does this caddy replace the DVD combo, or can it be used at the same time?
Jaime!
