He has bought a Seagate drive with 5,400 rpm and has heard that if you slow the drive down it will cause less heat?
Buying a less rubbish drive will cause less heat. In either case, a 5400 rpm drive is is bordering on being too slow to be able to record SDTV at a decent resolution / framerate / compression anyway so slowing it down further seems somewhat counter productive. They're also too noisy. Slowing down HardDrives
