Attached Image Attached Image Add a cooling fan to cool down this external hard disk.
Before real warm.
Now, no problem can leave it on, without any air cond. save energy and prolong live of disk.

All you need is buy a 12V 30MM fan. 2 screw and nut.
You need to do soldering a bit.

or course it voids your warranty.

Got the fan at Jalan Pasar , KL RM9.00

The picture above should be clear enough.

Just look for 12volts and ground.

Solder the red wire to 12 V source, in my case it is the 12V to the HDD.
