The concept of water cooling your HD is not something uncommon but a very interesting idea. Taking a look at the average computer case with all its case fans and vents, most cases do not have a fan blowing air directly over the HD. Other cases that have a fan blowing air directly over a drive are pulling the air from another hot device and blowing it at the drive. Now that AquaTurtle from Cooler Master isn’t going to freeze your drive with space age copper, unless your deep freezing your supply coolant (not a good idea if moisture is in the air), but the drive will use the method of conduction to pull the heat away from your HD and extend its life a little longer.
This handy device comes with a five and one fourth adapter rails and a few screws. The pluming ports are one quarter trunks (10mm outer pipe, 6.5mm inner pipe), which is a little on the small side for the extreme gamer water cooling systems on the market today, so anyone who uses larger pipes on their water cooling systems will require a run to the local hardware store to purchase adapters.
