Water-Cooled Hard Drives

August 7, 2007 By Stephen Leave a Comment

It seems that water-cooled storage isn’t just for IBM spinoffs anymore! NEC and Hitachi have unveiled a new water-cooled hard drive module for PCs (in Japan) to keep their drives nice and cool (and quiet, too!)

Don’t expect to see this tech widely used, though. It’s way too complex for mainstream application.

Once again, in the words of Mystery Science Theater 3000, “Trumpy, you can do stupid things!”
