Huh??? You been smoking that Perstor literature or something :-}? A controller
has nothing to do with the rate at which a drive spins!! That is a factor of
the damn motor in the disk drive. The only reason I can see that a controller
would cause the drive to be hot is how much work it gives the heads.
