What Customers Say About Antec HD COOLER Hard Drive Cooler System with Celsius or Fahrenheit Led Display:

This product had very simple instructions was very easy to install. the performance was high quality that you will come to expect from a company like Antec. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a quick, safe and easy way to protect you hard drive investment.

In the mean time I purchased one from Amazon, defective, and purchased two from Circuit City, both defective. Avoid this thing like the plague. Then Antec sends me back the RMA and IT WAS DEFECTIVE. I got one that worked for about 3 months, before it failed. I replaced it from Antec with a RMA, the morons never told me it'd be on back order, so it took a couple *months* to get that. So out of 5 units, one worked for a few months. Not a stellar track record.

Previously I had two drives (raid) mount in those 5.25 style aluminum heat sink adapters with rubber isolators. Along with the addition of rubber isolators, that would have put it over the top. The other minor gripe is the LED display; a) I thought it was a slight bit to big, b) It's green (the ability to slip in color slides to get other colors would have been cool), c) When it flips one channel to the other a dot changes to indicate which senor it's showing.

So, I changed out one of the drives to this. A smaller dot along with the display would do the trick.I would say to make this an A+. I figured the Antec would add a little air flow and bling with the temperature LED.

I realize they had to do something, although the dot is large and always flopping up/down. It was considerably larger than the front bezel on my Gigabyte case so I had to break out the file to fine tune things. Actually, the fan noise isn't all that bad (I figured there'd be some), but not near what I considered, really other than getting more HD seek/click noise it's really negligible.

the LED display should have moved off from what appears to be a long standing generic component from the 90's.

Very easy to install. Well-made and seems to run quietly. Should add to lifetime of today's very large drives that can run very hot.

easy to install works great and does not make a lot of noise. I like seeing the Temps too.
