Anyone have any good suggestions on how to keep a 7200RPM Drive cool?
I have a Micropolis 8.7G U/W
drive that I had placed in a second case with a large fan blowing across
it. This seem to work well, but
then I purchased a cheap 400W UPS, and I didn't think that it would
support a monitor, system with Dual PPro,
and a second mini-tower case (250W PS) for just the drive. Since the
UPS won't do much good without powering
the Harddrive, I moved the HD back to the main case, but it seem to get
very hot. I have a small fan in the case
now, and am considering putting the larger fan in it, but I don't have a
good way to mount the fan. Since the
ATX powersupply fan is sucking air in, I assuming the fan I put in
should blow air from the case out across the top of
the Harddrive. I would appreciate any suggestions, the last thing I
want is for the harddrive to fail.
Thanks,
Mark
