This is a great drive - a huge amount of storage and fast!
However, if you are writing large amounts to it, you may
need to get a fan. Let me relate to you my experience.
However, if you are writing large amounts to it, you may
need to get a fan. Let me relate to you my experience.
When I first got the drive, I set it up to do a full scan of
the drive. I did a CrystalDiskInfo before I started (see
the picture), and the disk temperature was 31deg C.
The scan took 5 hours. At the end of the scan the disk
temperature had risen to 50deg C (see the picture). After
completing the scan I watched to see how the temperature dropped. After 3 hours it had fallen to
45deg C. The passive cooling acts very slowly, despite
the large number of slots in the bottom, top, and back
of the drive housing.

45deg C. The passive cooling acts very slowly, despite
the large number of slots in the bottom, top, and back
of the drive housing.
Next I obtained a dual fan, and set one at the back to
push cool air into the drive. I put the second on top of
the drive to pull hot air out of the drive. I then wrote files to the drive for 3 hours. The starting temperature of the
drive was 30deg C. The temperature at the end of the
3 hours of copying files was just 33 deg (see picture)! I think this shows the effectiveness of having external fans.

I use this drive to archive material on my desktop computer at regular intervals. Large amounts are written
to the drive, and I need the fans to maintain the health
of the drive. I suspect that others using this drive will
be doing something similar, and would benefit by adding
fans.

A signature blend so good, we put our name on it. There’s nothing quite like the classic taste of Caribou Blend, a crowd-pleasing and approachable medium roast coffee. Woodsy spice notes from Indonesian beans stand out against a backdrop of caramelized sugar flavor from Central American varieties. The result is a sweet and well-rounded way to start your day. With its balanced acidity, milky body, and caramel-flavored sweetness, Caribou Blend is our most popular blend — from our cafés right to your cup. A thoughtfully crafted, expertly roasted expression that Caribou Coffee exists for those who believe life is not only what you make of it, but how you live it. In everything we say and do, we look for ways to delight consumers with an experience that goes beyond the expected. Each Caribou Coffee Caribou Blend K-Cup pod is filled with freshly ground, sustainably sourced coffee beans and is compatible with all Keurig single serve coffee makers. Simple. Delicious. And recyclable.* Enjoy the same great-tasting coffee you know and love, and when you’re done, just peel, empty, and recycle.*Check locally, not recycled in many communities.
