Can't offer any advice about vendors. However, I have used my Credit
card on the internet many many times with no problems - Just stay with
the major companies and watch you bills closely.

Yes the 7200s do run hotter than the 5400 droves, but not all that much
hotter. You might as well get used to it and add extra fans as all
drives will soon be the 7200s.
