Testing
I again installed this on the Viking 2, but when I turned on my pc it was silent, I was VERY impressed, I 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 and here are the results:- My tests showed an excellent cooling performance. I tested it with my Viking LVD drive, and the temperature never exceeded 32°C.

My tests showed an excellent cooling performance. The cooler will be sufficient
to cool even the hottest 10000rpm drives. I tested it my Viking LVD drive, and the temperature never exceeded 29°C.
It works,
both of these bays have 3 fans mounted at the front the Bay cooler 1 has 2 mounting
brackets and the Bay Cooler 2 has a full mounting kit, this is already assembled, there is also a LED mounted to show when the
fan is moving, there is also a removable grill present which
behind has a black mesh to keep out all of the dust and bits and bobs, I liked
this design a lot and it proved itself, the fans were very quiet
Pros:
- Both Great cooling
- Low noise fans
- Takes up a 5.25 Drive bay
- Cheap
Cons
- Bay Cooler 1 Very basic
