Can you use Everest to tell me what the running temp?

[PCWizKid]

I can' get the eSATA expansion to work for some reason. Whenever i plug in the enclosure to it and power it on nothing happens. Should I get the autoplay window or something?

As for a fan being installed, these enclosures are small spaces unlike the larger area these hdd's like to normaly be,( inside the pc case), which also has a fan and ventlating system.

If the thing comes with a fan, be happy and use it lol

I upgraded the hard drive in my laptop, so to make good use of my old hard drive I bought an enclosure for it, now I have a 500gb internal hdd in my laptop and a 320gb external with a nice looking enclosure. That's why you buy an enclosure. Same could be true for a desk top.

I have bought two of the Antec MX-1 and I installed in the second a quite big hard Drive: Western Digital WD2001FASS (Caviar Black, 7200RPM, 64MB Cache)

basicly, you can put an internal hard drive in them, and it can be used as an external backup hard drive.

Internal hard drives costs less than external ones. These enclosures let you put in an internal hard drive and take it with you anywhere.

I was talking about the harddrive temperature, whuch is mostly between 30-35C, the room temperature is around 20-25C, outside varies on the season, right now, its -1C outside.

[TheNoobiekin]

If your case is too cool, your harddrive shouldn't be under 30C or over 45~C. If it is outside of the boundaries, it could lower the life of the drive. Most harddrives are designed to operate around those temperatures so saying your case is cool enough could mean anything, 35C could be the ambient temperature in saudi arabia and the drives would require more cooling to keep it cool. If your in canada with a ambient of 18C, you would want to keep it with minimal cooling on the drive

I don't understand enclosures. Maybe I will someday...
