I would like to see some benchmarks befor I make any more conclusions but my first impressions is great.

When I set up a game server I am definatly keeping this on my list of things to include.

Only problem is its expsensive. But I guess you also get the pump, reservoir, radiator, and a lot of the other stuff that comes with it.

Though this product might be more of a luxery then something you would actually need.

Why would you need to cool your hard drive?

That's in Denmark! Anyways, as you said it's more of a luxery than an actual need, but cool (cool, haha! get it? cool!... Uh, nevermind) nonetheless!

stability so it doesnt crash.

I have only had a hard drive crash on me twice. But one was 4 years old and I never defraged it and the other one I installed a stupid program.

I think this product is aimed at servers instead of home use though. Raid arrays and stuff like that.

Hard drives contribute to case temperatures though. So the lower your hard drive temperature the lower your case temperature and you cpu, videocard, and memory.

If you buy a nice cool + quiet drive (Seagate) and put it in a rig where a front fan blows on it then there would be no issue of stability.

No benefit to cooling a good drive to the point of condensation.

Well I got two 80 MM fans running across the top and bottem of my hard drives. Never checked how cool they are though.
