Hard Drive cooling idea

I was browsing around and i saw a website that had a heatsink and fan for a hard drive cooler, it was about the same size the radeon HSF on their retail cards. I was wondering if this works.
 
I don't even see why you would need a HD cooler, other than for the coolness factor...If your case has decent air flow, the HD would be among the least of my worries.
 
I agree. I used to use a HD cooler for my 7200rpm ibm but there was no point to it. I can see HD coolers being used for high speed SCSI drives though.
 
i have a 10,000 RPM SCSI, but there's no vent hole, but the IDE's with 7200 RPM has blow holes, am i missing somethign?
 
the vent holes are to maintain the balance inside the drive for the read\write heads so they don't crash... blocking it is a bad thing. your drive must have one.

I guess its time to do some looking.
 
stick some old pentium heatsink on the HD. That should help some. 😀

If you insist to get a quality HD cooler, get the one with big heatsink on it.
