It seems like there is a device for every matter these days, and this latest is no exception. Yes, we enjoy our tools and toys that offer us nothing more than entertainment value, but every now and then we come across something that is actually handy. The HDD Dock with Cooling Fan is a device to help you control the heat emissions from your computer. Given that hard drives have the tendency to emit a LOT of heat when they are in operation, this can ultimately reduce the overall lifespan. By using tools such as the HDD Dock with Cooling fan, you will be able to keep your devices cool, and also have a very effective data transfer, backup, AND cloning tool all in one. You insert a drive into the dock, and the 8 cm fan will keep whichever drive you have inserted completely cool. This device is compatible with either 2.5” or 3.5” Hard disks, and plugs into your computer via USB ports.

Additional features on this include a fan speed up to 1800 rpm, a power saving feature to link ON/OFF status with your computer, as well as temperature and humidity controls. Even better, this tool is compatible with Windows VISTA, XP, Linux, and yes, even all you Apple lovers out there can take a bite out of this one. The kit comes with both the dock and the fan, AC Adaptor, power cable, and USB cable all for under $100 bucks. Not too bad considering the investment you make by prolonging the shelf life of your hard drive.
