I have been cleaning the heads with a Q-tip dampened with alcohol. What do you recommend? I've heard that the "disks" made for that purpose are ineffective and short-lived.
The power supply I've been using was furnished with a Kryoflux board. It is labeled "PHOBYA Model RK-34-12/5 - 2000mA" and states that it outputs 12V at 2A and 5V at 2A. Measuring 1x1.5x4 inches, it certainly does not have a very large capacitor inside. I've never tested the output but that may be a source of ripple. I'll try another source to power the drives and repeat the tests.
The generic disk is tighter in its jacket than the 3M.
