Anyone know how well the BayCool 3 HD cooler from PCPower and Cooling and the Vantec Dual Fan Drive Cooler work? The Bay Cool puts an 80 cm fan infront of a bay that can hold 3 drives. The Dual Fan cooler can mount 1 drive and has 2 60's underneath pullinhg air away from HD. I'm intrigued with each and would like some advice. THX

I got the Bay Cool and the Bay Cool 3... excellent cooling. The 80mm fan in the Bay Cool 3 is kind of noisy but I will be replacing it with a Silencer soon.

THXS for the tip. I liked the idea of fitting 3 drives in the bay, but wasnt sure about the cooling. I have 3 SCSI drives to mount.

I got a 9.1GB Cheetah, a Maxtor 13GB and 20GB 7200rpm on the Bay Cool 3... the hottest it get is warm.
