I also have one. I've been using it for about a year now and I find it to be handy. It beats contorting your head into positions to better hear a drive's sounds.

It's probably the cheapest and most useful tool you can get in a DR lab. Nobody mentioned FW problems.

Shows how much you really know Spildit....

Spildit Is A Senior Guy ,Please Do Not Say That And Spildit Don'nt Joke Too Much They All Take The Other Way Around Pleaseeeeeeeeee ..........

I Love You all

I'm not going to get into a slagging match, but just because somebody has "Senior" status, does not mean that what they say is correct. Anybody can post lots of meaningless posts on a forum to increase their rank or reputation.

For example, I would not expect a senior to say:

How can i put the following drives in safe mode ?

- Segate
- WD
- Hitachi/IBM
- Samsung

@ Amarbir : Why do each of your words begin with a CAPITAL letter?

I just use a Phillips head screwdriver. Put the tip in one of the screw holes and put the plastic end in your ear. Works fine when you are listening to drive activity.

I work in a noisy shop. Sometimes I need to hear what a drive does during init.

Hmm, that works, thanks for the tip.

I used once a microphone and spectrum analizator software, so i could SEE the track-to-track seek and such, and monitor the progress of some lenghty operation ....

Hi vlaszlo,
What a Tip Man ,I Have a Scope i Will Get a Transuder And Try This HEEE HEEE .Nice Idea
