According the the reviews, you can toast eggs on it. Ben's magic heat remedies defy the first and 2nd laws of thermodynamics because he personally eats up the entropy.
The reviews talk about the heat it produces. Isn't the idea of keeping a hd cool particularly important with such a big hd?
I would not reccomend this product and am a big fan of purchasing the HD and enclosure seperately. HD failure is a big concern with the heat issues.
This is just what you need to clear out the porn from your current hard drive!
Isn't it better that it gets really hot on the outside, rather than staying cool on the outside while the heat cooks the drive?
Wouldn't recommend using a 1 TB drive as your main OS or server, but for archiving things where you don't constantly write to the drive, seems like a good deal.
Yes and no. If there is no convection cooling (g no fan), then the heat must leave by conduction (g through the wall of the case). In that event, a hot outside is optimal because it would be symptomatic of little thermal resistance through the wall of the case and a bottleneck for heat transfer at the air-extermal wall interface.
However, if there is a fan, and it is doing its job, heat transfer from the disk will be directly to the moving air through the inside and so the case will not get hot or warm because the heat is being removed by the air.
A cool disk is best (or at least not terribly hot) and fans are used because convective cooling (to moving air) is generally much better (faster) than to static air (g the air inside the case is a large thermal resistance without a fan. This is still a bit oversimplified, but correct to first order.
Beware of Ben's quips, they sound good but quality varies from totally unguided (insulting language deliverately omitted) to sometimes true.
