Mounting a IDE or SATA Hard Drive in a CDROM case


Mount your IDE or SATA hard drive in a CDROM case using DAP 100% Silicone Rubber. Then install it into a computer drive bay in the computer case. Many computer cases do not have adequate room for hard drives. Take a look at how your hard drive is mounted in your case. Does your hard drive have adequate space for ventilation? Or is your hard drive jammed into a tight space? Do you have a secondary drive stacked on top or bottom of the primary drive? Is there space between the drives for ventilation? There should be plenty of free space for air to circulate around the drives. Without ventilation hard drives will overheat. A well ventilated drive should not be hotter than warm baby milk. In this video I show how to utilize your empty CDROM bays and CDROM cases to mount a drive into. You can either move a drive from a cramped and poorly ventilated area of your computer case to the CDROM bay or you can make the CDROM case for your primary drive. I’ve incorporated a fan onto the top of the CDROM case. This method has the drawback of taking up two drive bays instead of one. Chances are that this fan is not needed for normal computer operation. If your computer has a case fan or two then mount the drive without the addition of the fan. Check to make sure you have air flow coming in or out of the CDROM drive holder after completing the build. Only a slight breeze of air is required to keep the drives ventilated. The fan and hard drive are mounted with DAP brand 100% silicone
