Typical mains power for mid-range PC?

Stick 2x 10,000rpm HD against one another in a drive cage. Provide sufficient cooling for 2x 8-17W drives. I will provide the data recovery firm name to use... o Motor-IC overheats from lack of linear-feet-per-min airflow o Motor-IC dumps heat into surroundings, motor/spindle heat o Motor-spindle dumps heat into FDB accelerating aging o FDB aging causes higher current draw (startup & continuous) ---- S.M.A.R.T. data measures startup Ima &/or startup Tsecs o Higher current draw heats motor/spindle & Motor-IC ---- Reinforcing System Loop of increasing thermal dissipation The above reminds me of hard drive hot spots because the Motor-IC gets referred to a few times. My question is simpler: If I have a hard drive which has a protective sheet of metal on one side and the circuit board on the other side then which of these two side should get the most cooling? |
