Introduction
Probably one of the all time worst things that can happen to your system is
have a hard drive die. Not only are you out of an expensive piece of
equipment, but the data that was on that drive must be restored (if you’re
lucky and have a backup) or you end up starting from square one attempting to
rebuild the system and recreate the lost files. Hard drives can overheat just
like any other device, and one way to prolong the lifespan of any type of
electronics is to keep the temperatures as low as possible. One device that
can help is a HDD cooler, and we have one on hand to review, thanks to
Silverstone Technology. This particular model is the SST-FP53 all aluminum HDD cooling system. Does it work? Read on and find out!
Packaging and Contents
The FP53 arrived in excellent condition. The box
is clearly made for the retail shelf, and sports lots of color and flashy
pictures.

The device itself looks and feels well made, and
is not very heavy. The front of the device matches up perfectly with the
Eudemon Fan controller and Transfer bracket that we’ve looked at in the past.
It also bears Silverstone’s classy brushed aluminum finish.
