As with CPU coolers, hard drive coolers range from being fairly simple to very complex. Today we’ll take a look at the Nexus Frisbee Hard Drive Cooler, which has a simple design yet claims it is silent and has excellent cooling performance. Read on to find out if they are true.

The Nexus Frisbee HDD cooler arrived in a Frisbee-like container shaped like the fan itself. The back of the package lists the features/specifications of the cooler and claims that the fan is inaudible. Surprisingly, this cooler very much resembled a previously reviewed Vizo Orbiter hard drive cooler.

Opening up the package, the cooler is easily extracted revealing its small size and simple design. We’ve seen other HDD coolers on the market that are enclosures, which are DVD-drive sized cases that surround the hard drive and fit into the 5.25” bay. As you can see by the pictures, this small cooler simply attaches to the bottom of the hard drive and flows air directly onto the hard drive. Along with the cooler, the package comes with 2 screws for attaching the cooler to the hard drive.

Installing the HDD cooler onto the hard drive is easy; simply install the cooler using two screws and plug in the 4-pin power connector. The cooler has slots where the screws go, allowing you to adjust the exact placement of the cooler.
