StarTech FANDRIVEBK Review by Griffster (Fort Collins, CO USA)
Although it is functional, the unit I received is way too loud. I wish I was kidding when I compare it to a salon hair dryer. It makes more noise than the entire rest of the PC. I bought it to provide some additional flow-through air for my case (not as a hard drive cooler specifically), and I couldn't live with it as loud as it was.
I wired in a potentiometer to adjust the voltage to the fan trio, hoping to dull the noise, and it only changed the pitch, not really the volume. I also disconnected the fans one by one and discovered that 2 of the 3 were significantly louder than the other. I now am running just 1 fan in the group of 3. I made the decision to keep and rewire the unit rather than send it back for a refund at this price point. My CPU temps, which were of the utmost concern, may have been reduced by 1-2 deg C. when all 3 fans were working. I know my power supply is getting more cool air, however.
