Excellent HD cooler. Have 2, with each holding a 1TB HD, and plan on purchasing another 4 with 4 more 1TB HDs. Drives run comparatively very cool, even under load. Strongly recommend |

iStarUSA iStorm8 1x5.25" Hard Drive Cooling Heat Sink
Comment:
I was pleasantly surprised when I took a chance on this item. I figured it would be a comlpete waste of cash, but man, was I wrong. There's plenty of room in this thing for all thicknesses of drives, and if your case has good airflow, it's actually cool to the touch when running a drive. I liked it so much I bought 2 more - one for another build, and one to keep as a sled for cloning drives - even after a 7 hour triple-data-overwrite session, the drive was only warm to the touch, when normally it would be too hot to pick up. It's a bit pricey, and it kinda stinks that it ships from CA - it'd be nice to see this puppy at about $20, in stock at tiger for that fabulous one-day turn time... otherwise, I highly suggest this cooler - especially if you're looking to cram more drives in a box with only 5.25'' drive slots to spare! |
Overall I am very happy with the hard drive cooler. Installation was very easy and everything fit just right in my case. The hard drive is running a whole lot cooler. The product is very well built and is at a great price.
