Works great. May 11, 2008
I have a Directv HD DVR with an external Seagate SATA 750g Hard Drive that was running very hot. This fan plugs into the USB port on the back of the DVR. The fan is then aimed at the external hard drive. The hard drive is now running cool without any heat build up whatsoever. The fan has a variable control for the speed of the fan and a retractible usb cord for adjusting the length of the cable. Highly recommended.

The fan works perfect for me keep my PC cool some people say that they dont like the point of no turn off/on button but I have a slim PC and I want the fan on when my PC is on!-Slim PC's over heat too much it will go off when you turn the pc off wich is perfect for me,an essential gear for SLIM PC's!

This fan is very study and quiet. I wish they made a 110v AC unit. I'd buy several. Hard to believe it's only $10. The speed adjustment knob feels solid and turns very smoothly (infinite adjustment rather than clicks). I lowered the temp of my external hard drive by 20. I can turn up the speed if I want to cool it even more but 102 is OK for zero sound.

Ok, I was looking for a small quiet fan to move the stagnate cubical air around... And this was the perfect solution... Move's more than enough air around and when set to half power you can barely hear it. Even the price is right.
Any conventional fan that can knock 30 degrees off my hard drive is OK in my book. April 13, 2008
I put together an external disk and enclosure for use as a "Time Machine" back-up drive, for my Mac Pro.
As the external drive enclosure lacks a fan, the hard drive - at idle - ran at about 104F. Peak temps reached 112F+ when doing lengthy backups; and, this is with an ambient room temp of only about 76F. I imagine that it would get much worse when Chicago's hot August rolls around.
Placing this Thermaltake fan (approximately)two inches in front of the drive enclosure (the enclosure has an open grill, "cheese grader" like face, like the Mac Pro), has easily dropped the drive's temp to 92 degrees at idle; and this is with the fan set just slightly above it's lowest RPM. Out of curiosity, I left the fan at full RPM, for an hour or so, and it dropped the drive's temp to 85F.
Even though I don't have an immediate use for them, I may just pick up a few more for the future. Remember; aside from moisture, heat is an electronic device's worst enemy.
CONS (for the picky): The fan is *barely* audible, except at it's highest speeds. However, if the fan speed is set at it's lowest RPM, there is a very very slight high pitched whine that you can only hear if you're listening for it. Though, maybe that's just a defect unique to mine.
Cheers
