Poor heat dissipation IMHO due to the design of the MacBooks (I.e. Lovely to look at, nice and slim, but no airflow)

Hi
For Hitachi laptop drives we had cases were apple branded had more heads than hitachi donor (same model) or different head map so we use "bigger" donors in that cases.

That makes sense. I wish people would stop powering them on as soon as they no longer work.
