Zalman ZM-2HC1 Heatpipe HDD Cooler Review

Nowadays, everything in the system needs cooling. With the new Raptors spinning so fast, it’s not surprising to see that they need cooling as well. The Zalman is a good passive solution.

“While fans are easily the quickest way to cool down a toast drive, they create noise. Passive heatsinks are a good option, but in and of themselves they aren’t really all that necessary. A better solution recently came to light in the form of Zalman’s ZM-2HC1 heatpipe hard drive cooling rack, primarily because it addresses the noise and vibration factor.”
