Now the Maxtor is mounted directly above the IBM, so I would expect it to have a higher temperature than the IBM, but I wouldn't expect it to be excessive. Any thoughts?

As I said in my first post to your question: "Even when disk swapping, the hard drive "should not" rumble. Suggest you contact Dell Craputers about the problem." Everyone else touched on excessive disk usage, but missed the rumbling. No matter how much your system accesses the disk, it should "NOT" rumble.

The hard disks are almost ALWAYS running, especially when the computer is idle. I disabled the Windows Search service, but that didn't change anything. Any ideas as to what that might be?

Excessive Wasted Space on Intranetware 4.11
I am wondering if it may be a memory bottleneck that is causing excessive disk usage, or just a slow drive subsystem that needs more drives in a faster configuration.
