Hi,On my PC I have a fan that screws on top of the HDD - it works well and not too loud. However, in normal midi-tower you can only have one HDD with it - because it's too large to get in the normal HDD box, so you need to install t it under all the other HDDs.
I don't have much experience or knowledge of this issue, so I'm asking here...
Those new IDE hard drives that are sold today (40GB and up) with 7200 RPMS are getting hot, as everyone knows (or felt)..
So my question is - when a fan is needed, and what sort of fan? I've seen those 3-fans that takes a 5.25" tray (where you can stick a CDROM drive) but I don't know how much they're usefull (from my experience - they're not)..
Same question about 2 100GB drives - how many fans and which ones?
All drives are IDE, 7200 RPM speed..
You can also buy a good case with space for a fan for each HDD. I bought "Chieftec DRAGON FULL TOWER" case for one of my servers and there you have special space for a fan, for each of the HDDs.
