Pic-3: Contents, the hard drive cooler, with a bag of mounting screws.

Pic-4:? You can see the two fans, but the front grill is meant for three fans, a third fan would have been better.? The four screws, two on each side, have springs underneath to keep pressure between the hard drive and the heat sink for better heat transfer.

Pic-5: Underside of the cooler, pass through molex connector on the left side.? Large surface area of the heat sink makes for better cooling.

Pic-6: Front grill taken off to show the two Evercool 40mm fans. The grill has an air filter behind it to catch dust and dirt before it gets inside your case. You can slide the front piece off if you ever need to clean the grill, or just don't want to have it limiting the airflow.

Testing conducted with an ambient room temperature of 21.7c.? As you can see the cooler lowered the hard drive temps about 3 degrees.? I was using a 5400 rpm HDD for testing so the cooler probably didn't get to show its full potential.

Conclusion:
The Ultimate Hard Drive Cooler looks very cool and also keeps your hard drive very cool. Unlike many other hard drive coolers on the market, this one has a heat sink which helps to further cool the hard drive.? It is very easy to install and adds extra insurance to your expensive system.? The only problem I had with the cooler is with the front grill, and getting it installed properly, other than that this product lives up to its claims and will help keep your system cooler and more stable.
