A
couple of years ago, if someone would have told me about a hard
drive cooler, I probably would of ask myself what the hell he
was smoking! But today, with drives spinning at 7200 rpm and
even 10k rpm, heat can become an important issue.
There
solution to this heat problem described above. The thin drive
cooler. It's a compact and inexpensive cooling solution for
your scorching HD. Cooling your HD won't make it faster, but
it will expend it's lifetime and reliability. The unit design
is pretty simple; it's basically a 60mm fan that blows underneath
your HD, pushing the hot air away from it. My homemade HD cooler
works much the same way. The low power consumption, quiet operation
and the 20 CFM of blowing power are all good aspects of this
unit. Here are some detailed specifications:

flow: 20 CFM
Fan speed: 4000 rpm
