yup... very disappointed with the results, glitches, crackles, drop outs, it was ugly! And it's a shame, cause cooler is good, quieter is good, slow is not so good!
Sadly, this applies to both the OS drive and the audio and sample drives. I mostly expected the later two to be a problem, but I was a little surprised that the OS drive also caused problems. I mean what the heck... that's why I tried this experiment in the first place - I hoped it would work!
Recent research suggests that there may be ways to disable the variable speed thing for some specific drives, but I have not returned to the experiment, and I wonder if disabling the variable speed would undo all the other benefits.
Anyone else feeling brave enough to give it a spin???
