Anyone used these decouplers?
Hi. I have been looking for HDD decouplers. Anyone has used these:
It looks like the one with heatsinks should be better in cooling the HDD. Any suggestions/ideas?
Regards.

The temps normally should be lower, not raised against "normal" built in harddisks.

OK, I purchased the nexus silencers. They do make the drive quieter, with less whine and less seek noise, but it does not make it silent. I guess nothing will. The temperatures go up by about 5ºC, still within tolerance (around 41ºC now, at 21.5ºC room temp), because my seagate barracuda is supposed to work within 0-60ºC. This summer I may have to add a new fan, though.
Regards.

I got some of the Nexus type units from Comp USA. The did not work in one case, but worked fine in another. The one issue is that the holes on these units are in a strange place. So if your system uses rails it may be a real pain to get the screws to line up. My rail holes were a 1/2 inch off so I had to force them to fit.

I just let them without screws; they fit well, because the rubber is sticky (and smelly). I had to put a 92 mm nexus fan at 5V in front of them, because they were getting too hot (46ºC and rising). Now they stay below 40ºC with no additional noise. I have a silent system at last!!
