QUOTE(ZidaneZCustom @ Sep 23 2006, 03:56 AM) I think the hard disk with OS on it would be hotter compare those without OS, right? my dedicated BT HDD is running at 34C, 2C hotter than XP disk, maybe cause of keep writing/reading periodically in BT |

using a CM LED silent fan for my hdds. 12cm, 42.73CFM, air pressure 1.56mmH20, 22db, 1220rpm. 30000hours life, sleeve bearing. ball bearing is better and lasts longer, but 30000 hours is more than enough for me...

@6GDominator
my maxtor paling hot also 38C only when a lot of activity. when none it just sits there at 31C. the circuit board can fail if too hot, that not so bad cos can recover data if replace circuit board but if mechanical fault, then finish liaw. sp i suggest u get hdd fans quickly but even then there is no guarantee (my brother's disk also failed even with fan, circuit board burnt or something, but can recover data thankfully!) but at least cool it down a bit. just always monitor your hard disk temps using HD Tune or HDD Thermometer (both free downloads, google them). About the fans, I bought two for only RM12 and came with screws and other necessary stuff. i haven't installed them though. then also can add a cheap but quiet pc fan in the casing. cost only RM2++ at two ringgit shop haha.
