I had the full height drive belly up and exposed (it didn't fit inside
my Server). One day my foot hooked a cable and through a Rube Goldberg
series of events down came the LAN hub right on the IO chip of the drive.
Before I knew what had happened the drive caught fire. The computer
kept running until I pulled the power out of the drive. At that point the
SCSI bus hung.
The room stank for a week, the drive has a chip with 2 eruption craters
(Cirrus Logic CL-SH350-230C-C). The drive worked really well up to that
point. :-0
Needless to say I no longer have servers components exposed in such a
manor. (DOH!)
