Quiet Drive 3.5" Internal HDD Silencer
Building on from the success of the Silent Box, Scythe have now released the new 3.5" Quiet Drive. This new hard drive enclosure offers better noise reduction properties than its predecessor at a cheaper price!

The reason the performance of the 3.5" Quiet Drive has increased compared to the Silent Box is because the 3.5" Quiet Drive uses a "Quadruple Core Structure", QCS. The hard drive is first encased by aluminium plates. On the top an bottom of those plates two thick thermal pads are used to help transfer the heat away from the hard drive and onto the top and bottom of outer casing which is also made from aluminium. Scythe call this "Double Heat Diffusion Method". Click here for an exploded diagram.

Around the inside edges of the outer casing is soft foam which reduces the vibrational noise generated by the hard drive. It also helps to quieten the high pitched whine that emits due to the spinning platters inside the hard disk.

On the outer of the casing there are four metal rectangles. These rubber mounted clips allow the Quiet Drive to be attached into a spare 5¼" drive bay, they also aid anti-vibration.
