when will they let me set a software preference for "Act like a freakin' hard drive instead of Glowing like an 18-year-old's honda civic"?

i'd snatch up a dozen of these if it'd let me turn the damn lights off or mostly off. (1 tiny access light and maybe 1 tiny power light isn't so bad.)

Having said that, it look a lot better than those other FreeAgent disks, as those just had odd color schemes, and since it's going to be sitting on your desk, looks do matter. ]]>Aug 15th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/Aug 15th 2008 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/
It does not look like they have air vents.

I think they seagate chooses drives that run very cool in the first place since they are the makers of the drive its probably easier to do. i wonder if they jigger the drives to run cooler, perhaps with less performance?
i dunno, it just is rather odd that a plastic cased drive is cooler than an aluminum:P]]>Aug 16th 2008 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/Aug 16th 2008 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/seagate-dumps-brown-gets-mac-happy-with-leaked-freeagent-disks/
Seagate need to get more inventive and come up with their own concept.

it seem since thet took maxtor the business lose its way.
