I never worked with pelts. Now I want to try the 12 V DC pelts for cooling my SCSI HDDs (15000 rpm). How can I lead away heat from the pelts (without any fans!)?
Thank everybody. Leon |

it'd be hard to cool the pelts without using fans. why not just glue heatsinks to the top of the hdd's and use quiet fans

Maybe it will work? To make "heatsink-pelt-heatsink-HDD"? The first heatsink (on hot side) leads heat from the pelt, the second heatsing cools the HDD. Every heatsing is a cooper one, the same size as the HDD is and, say,10mm thick?

Better yet, just have a fan blowing air over the drives. That's how I cool my Cheetahs.

Pelts on a hard drive are a bad idea, I just replied to another thread with reasons.

Heck... I had my 3 IBM's stacked in 2 large bays for 5 months without failure. Had too... didn't have any other spot to put them.

You can always just drop the HDs in a bucket of ice to keep 'em cool.
