Great hard drive cooler

Post by nightblood »

I setup quite a few Security Camera servers. And in my experience the hard drives don't last that long 1 to 2 years tops. 3 years ago I started using the MASSCOOL SYTRIN Kuformula SHF1 Ultra HDD Cooler which has extended the life of the hard drives. On servers that I have used these the hard drives record 15 Degrees cooler then ones that don't have them.

What case do have the system in? How were the drives cooled before?

Side question, what are you using for the software? I ask as I'm kicking around the idea of making a surveillance system due to some recent vandalism.

I haven't really stuck with the same case. I usually buy them depending on current prices and how many hard drives I need. I am a big fan of Antec cases.
Before the hard drives had no cooler at all.
I use Milestone Software for Camera recording. ( I am a reseller of it) It works great and has a ton of nice features.
