Quiet Hard Drive Coolers
Hard Drive Cooling and Hard Drive Coolers
No, We havent mis-typed that title. No, We havent gone insane. This really is all about cooling your computer's hard drive(s). Most people dont 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 shouldnt 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 doesnt have anywhere to go, so your hard drive just gets hotter and hotter. I have seen drives get as
hot as 130/140 degrees Farenheit. 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 desigh 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 reinstaling 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 Farenheit.
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 Farenheit.
The combanation of Heatsink passive cooling and active cooling
Ah This is our favorite and most effective.
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 haetsink 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.
Recomended coolers up above you have them both the Nexus active quiet hard drive cooler. And the Zalman hard drive cooling heatsink.
We hope you have enjoyed this information hard drive faliure has become a big problem these days should you have any sugestions feel free to contact are R&D Team we appriciate
sugetions , ideas, concerns and coments to further help to address the increasing problem of hard drive failure.
