HDD in laptop CD drive bay
Hi,
I have a few questions about putting HDD's in the slot where a cd drive normally goes in a laptop.
1) How are they cooled? Surely because cd drives don't make much heat and hdd's do there is a heat build up?
2) Linking on from that, would getting a HDD with slower rpm produce less heat, having numerous benefits.
3) If there is a heat build up, would it be wiser to put a SSD in the cd bay, and leave the HDD where it is meant to live, with all the cooling aids?
I may have other questions along the way.
Thanks in advance.
Tom
