Silent HDD

 
    I haven’t decided yet how to mount the new device to the system case, so I put it on the basket which is useless now. So, I joined the slots and plugged in the PC.

 
    I listened to the music for about an hour and then I checked the HDD’s temperature and was surprised at.

    And how not to wonder at – the HDD’s temperature was 26.1°C. For comparison, when the HDD functioned in the same condition simply “in air” its temperature was 37°C. Then I made defragmentation of dick D. During all that business about this stuff I even forgot about the noise. But when defragmentation began, I understood that there was no noise! I can’t say that it completely disappeared – if one puts an ear to the thorned case, a little noise will be heard. But when sitting at the keyboard I didn’t heard the noise of the running HDD. However, the thermal paste damps the noise and vibration well enough. After defragmentation the HDD case temperature was 35.1°C as compared with 40.3°C “in air”.

 
    The gap isn’t so impressive, but it’s OK. The overheat of the HDD is too far, although the room temperature was 23°C.
Good modding everyone, Clear66..
