Higher :duty cycle (% on), higher speed. It would be a trouble to calibrate, might :act different on different drives (different speed vs duty cycle curve, :might not work well, could possibly hose the drive (?), etc). I caught that idea in the last thread. If memory serves, someone was telling stories about how they toasted three drives with the above method. Christopher cshaulis@Delphi.com
