hrmm.... anyone knows what reliable cooling setup for HDD?
very curious on it cause heat is really an issue in every electronic stuff..

for me i just leave 1 slot space between 2 HDD. Should be alright.....BTW my casing installed 6 fans (4 in front and 2 back) and 1 is WD 5400rpm and Maxtor 7200rpm. Heat its not an issue for me thumbup.gif but BT might "kill" my WD HDD soon sweat.gif

I think I might buy WD next time. But it also depends on my luck when buying the one with a FOREVER life span. laugh.gif

anyway i think maxtor is the best but this is depends on your luck my friend bought maxtor is from china but i bought is from singapore.it is all depends on your luck.

not really......Maxtor HDD famous as "Data Killer". There is a thread discussing about HDD and almost 90% user complaining Maxtor HDD. If you have friends who are PC hardware dealer ask them what HDD giving the most problem........MAXTOR shakehead.gif

the most scary thing about harddisk is they just died without any symptoms .... i used to have 1 maxtor and 2 western digital and 1 seagate .... they serve me well and still under warranty period ... but i guesss we cant just predict ... they died just overnight ... unrecoverable ... really sad ... all data gone! ... is there any harddisk that can promise will not died without any symptoms for 3 years time? tongue.gif ..... guess not ..... depends on luck ...

Maybe there is but you did not realise it. Such as...it produce noise, "click" sound or sometimes cannot be detected but later on work fine. Those are the symptoms for mine. biggrin.gif get another HDD If using PnP/Bt etc cos those software will kill ur HDD softly tongue.gif correct me if im wrong
