Our hard disk series aquadrive has a new baby:
The aquadrive quad copper edition
This hard disk cooler can take up to 4 hard disks which are cooled and decoupled very well in the completely encapsulated case. Merely three 5 1/4" bays are used and the cooler contains a fluid reservoir at the same time, this one has a greater capacity than the aquatube.
This new star of our hard disk series uses delrin as case material which takes vibrations better than aluminum due to its structure. Solid copper plates are used inside. Their weight approximately corresponds to the weight of an aquadrive dual aluminium. In turn these are surrounded by a water jacket which also takes and lowers vibrations. The whole aquadrive is kept in the already approved rubber components which decouple it from the case. The inside of the case is provided with a special layer covering to take high-frequency noises.
To be able to take SATA and ATA plates without too big case openings, the openings are executed ex works for SATA as of now and can be used for ATA drives by breaking them out.
The integrated fluid reservoir is filled by an enclosed squeeze bottle at the front. By two tubes the two reservoirs are communicating with each other so that the filling level compensates itself. The current water level can comfortably be read in the right profile. A little red ball indicates the fill level.
The aquadrive quad will be available at the end of the month for approx. EUR 130.
The connections are G1/4".
