Hard Drive Cooling - Quiet Hard Drive Coolers
Quiet Hard Drive Coolers, We have all the hard drive cooling heatsinks and coolers for cooling your hard disks, RAM, and system. Cooling your RAM
modules with RAM heatsinks and memory coolers will provide for a more stable system especially when your overclocking. Hard Drive Cooling, is
crucial to the Hard disk drive (HDD) coolers are vital in servers that are constantly on and for gaming rigs that constantly utilize the hard drives. We
also have a range of system coolers and blowers that fit nicely into your disk drive racks or PCI slots to cool your system components.

Hard Drive Cooling and Hard Drive Coolers
No, We haven't mis-typed that title. No, We haven't gone insane. This really is all about cooling your computer's hard drive(s). Most people don't
realize this, but a very large amount of hard disk crashes and other hard drive related problems are due to overheating.
Chances are, you've got a fair bit of cooling going on in your computer. You've got a fan on your processor. If you have a newer video card, you
probably have a fan on that. You've got a fan in your power supply. Chances are, you probably have one or two fans bolted onto your case. The goal of
all of this is to keep the air moving inside your computer. To suck in cold air and/or blow out hot air, and to move the air across your processor,
helping to cool it. Sadly, none of these fans are trying to cool your hard drives.
Now, if you only have one hard drive, and its not up against something (like your CD-Rom/DVD drive/whatever), then really you shouldn't have
anything to worry about, unless you live in a really hot place, or just keep the computer in a hot room. However, as soon as you start adding multiple
hard drives, or putting them up against other drives, you're going to have problems with heat dissipation. What this means is, all the heat that your
hard drive is generating doesn't have anywhere to go, so your hard drive just gets hotter and hotter. I have seen drives get as hot as 130/140 degrees
Fahrenheit. Let's face it, thats pretty hot.
When you start seeing hard drive temperatures in that range, your rate of hard drive failure increases dramatically. At this point, having to replace
hard drives every 12 to 24 months is not uncommon. A case with proper cooling and a well design power supply may last twice as long. The
solution to this problem is hard drive cooling. This will help you even double the life span of your drives if not more and keep them running stable
and prevent system crashes as well headaches of reinstalling windows etc, Hard drive coolers are essentially fans specially designed to fit onto
your hard drive and cool it. There are several different types of hard drives coolers available which we will discuss here.
Attachment fan coolers:
Generally these attach to the front or top of your hard drives, and simply blow air onto them (or away from
them) to cool them down. They work, but are really only the way to go for mild heating problems. Expected temperature drop from Use depending on
case set up sometimes 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Attachment Heatpipe coolers:
Generally, these mount on top of your hard drives. This is a passive cooling system. It is essentially a very large heat sink for your hard drives. It is
quiet, as it is Fanless, it takes no power, Expected temperature drop from use: 3-5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hard Drive Enclosures:
Hard drive enclosures are a great choice for those seeking silence as well as cooling. These enclosure types heatsinks are
pricer that quiet hard drive coolers, However they provide total silence as well as excellent cooling.
For the cooling Freaks!
This is our most effective cooling method.
We have found through are testing in a PC case with proper airflow you can double your cooling performance by attaching both type of coolers on
your disk drive. The heatsink on top and the active cooler in the bottom. Note: it is also important to leave space between the drives and other
components such as Rom drives etc. This will help reduce hot air pockets.
Recommended coolers up above you have them both the Nexus active quiet hard drive cooler. And the Zalman hard drive cooling heatsink.
For the Silent Freaks!
This is the most affective method for those seeking moderate cooling and pure Silence:
For those seeking Prue silence over the highest performance the hard drive silencing enclosures are recommended. Our high-end hard drive
enclosures will provide you with extra cooling beyond using nothing but Obviously will not provide you the highest performance witch is the use of a
hard drive heatsink with a fan directly mounted on the cooler blowing cool air or dissipating heat right on the hard drive directly it self.
Conclusion:
We hope you have enjoyed this information hard drive failure has become a big problem these days should you have any suggestions feel free to
contact are R&D Team we appreciate suggestions, ideas, concerns and comments to further help to address the increasing problem of hard drive
failure.
