The issue of noise from hard drives has remained a long-established barrier to the dream of owning a silent PC. The whir and whine from a drive's constantly-spinning platters and clicking from its head-seek can soon become annoying to anyone who values a quiet life whilst they use their PC. And pity the user whose PC has more than one drive! As you would expect, we have offered several solutions to this problem over the years, but we have yet to come across a product as effective as the Smart Drive from an unusually-named Tokyo-based company called "Grow Up Japan".
Smart Drive Neo QQ
The Smart Drive Neo QQ is the newest member of the Smart Drive family, and offers the very highest level of silencing and heat dissipation for your valuable hard drive. It is presented as a tidy-looking acoustically-sealed enclosure for any 3.5 inch hard drive which can then be mounted in a standard 5.25" (DVD drive-sized) bay. However, what makes the product stand out is its attention to detail as far as design is concerned. The Smart Drive's product designers have stopped at nothing in implementing design features to reduce noise and increase cooling in every way possible.
Other HDD silencing products tackle the issue of heat extraction in a variety of ways, including the use of heatpipes, vented openings and fan-assisted cooling. However, the Smart Drive uses none of these compromises and delivers both brilliant silence and excellent cooling. Even toasty-running 10,000 and 15,000 rpm hard drives such as WD's Raptor series can be safely silenced! In fact, using the product with these incredibly loud drives gives a very dramatic benefit, so at last you can have both performance and quietness.
For anyone who still remains unconvinced that the encasement of a hard drive is a good idea from a thermal point of view, a Google research publication discusses the reasons for failure on over 100,000 of its consumer-grade hard drives. The paper sent shock waves through the IT industry when it flew in the face of conventional wisdom and concluded that in fact "there is a lack of consistent pattern of higher failure rates for higher temperature drives, or for those drives at higher utilization levels".

One other problem with some cheaper HDD enclosures is that they do nothing to dampen the low-frequency vibrational noise from the hard drive. This typically manifests itself as a hum or rumbling noise, and can be amplified by the PC chassis. However, the Smart Drive addresses this issue very effectively through its use of soft heat-conductive materials and sheer mass - the product weighs 1.2 kilograms! And one other benefit of using a hard drive enclosure is that the product brings benefits in terms of sealing the drive from harmful effects of dust.

The Smart Drive has undergone several minor design refinements over its lifetime and has now reached the pinnacle of a brilliantly engineered and executed solution. Despite its high price, Smart Drive sales in Japan and the USA have now reached nearly 100,000 units and we are proud to bring this product to the UK for the benefit of customers who demand the best. And because it is built like a tank, we are sure you will enjoy the benefit of the product for many years to come as you transfer it from PC to PC when you upgrade. Definitely a Smart Choice!
The Smart Drive Neo QQ has been shown to quieten a hard drive by over 15dB and reduce its running temperature by 6°C

It is not easy to get rid of noise, vibration, heat from PC completely. There is no certain solutions for it. You have to consider what you have and what you could create.
At last, you may challenge to solve the problems without any perceptions because nothing will change unless you try something.
Silent :
Reduces the noise by 15.5dB. This level is definitely human bodies can sense it. It sounds very tiny difference. However, just a little changes make huge differences.
Cooling:
Most of the recent cooling products are just preventing heat accrual, not releasing it. However, SMART DRIVE could be a radiator of HDD. We proved that 6° down from HDD based on our test, compare to bared HDD.
Features:
Insulated libration framework
New design for heat radiation
Sound absorbing material
Active vibrate suppression
Multi layered top cover ( NEO-QQ )
1.6 mm Steel top cover ( NEO )
Dust free and Water proof
