The white front panel there is a large cylinder shaped fan, this moves the slowest
out of all the coolers which we tested today but it was
one of the most efficient. It was very quiet, the fan pushes a lot of air over
the drive keeping it cool, it pushes a lot of air even thought the fan
is not very powerful. The only issue with this drive is that it sticks out from
the front of the PC a fair distance.

The cooler: The cooler this cooler was different from all others, it could
be installed in a 3 1/4 bay, as it screwed on the BOTTOM
of the hard drive which meant you did not lose any space (bar HARD DRIVE space)
and it directly cooled the bottom of the hard drive
this was something I was very pleased about.

Testing
I installed this again on the Viking 2, which I am using for all of the hard drive
coolers in the shoot out, It was slightly louder than the
IStorm but, But I was again impressed, I again ran the HARD DRIVE doing a defrag
and scan disk of windows then in to 4GBs roughly
of mp3s being copied across, It performed brilliantly here are the results:-
My tests showed an excellent cooling performance. The cooler will definitely be
sufficient to cool even the fastest drives. I tested it with
my Viking LVD drive Held on the bottom.... and the temperature never exceeded
29°C
Pros:
Great cooling
Looks cool
- low noise fans
- Takes up a 5.25 Drive bay
Cons
- Weak fan
