Hello all,

I've got a WD 4GB IDE disk that came with an AIO G3. I'm putting it in an envoronment that will vary from -10 to 180 deg F, and I'm using a 50W TE plate to heat and cool the drive to within operating temperatures before it's spun up for use. I checked Wester Digital's support pages for environmental information, and they have some information, but I need to know the real limits for their IDE drives. I have a feeling it can run fine at much higher and lower temperatures than they say. I've used a Viking at below freezing before with no trouble. Once I get the assembly for disk climate controls put together, I'll put it on a website in case it could be of use to anyone else. Thanks for any help!
