As the temperature of a hard drive nears its heat threshold, read errors, reduced life cycles, and even loss of data can occur.  With the Vortex 2 HDCS (Hard Drive Cooling System), you can help ensure the dependability of your crucial data.  The Vortex 2 dampens the vibration caused by the rapidly spinning motors in the hard drive, reducing noise and shock.  It also provides an easy to clean mesh air filter to help keep dust off your drive and out of your case.  Most importantly, with its adjustable crossflow blower, the Vortex 2 can lower the temperature of your hard drive by up to 40%.  Compatible with any 3.5" hard drive, including Serial ATA, IDE, and SCSI, the Vantec Vortex 2 increases system stability and protects your data.
