As with any fan system, the main goal is to remove the heat and lower the temperatures. With that said, let's move on to the review.

    The first of three fans we are going to look at is the Voyager Dual-Fan 3.5" HDD Cooler. This cooler is constructed of aluminum and incorporates two 50mm fans. Each of these fans spin around 4000 RPM. VIZO claims these fans have a low decibel emission of around 24db. The aluminum housing for the Voyager has fins on the sides to aid in heat dissipation. Installation is simple, with this cooler mounting to the underside of the HDD with four screws, and a Molex connection for 12volt power.

Installed on HDD

    After installing the Voyager, the first I wanted to do was listen to the sound coming from the fan unit. The dual fans are fairly quiet, and in a fully loaded system they shouldn't be noticed. To get a temperature reading, I used the ThermoHawk. This is an Infrared thermometer with digital display, and it's as simple as point and shoot. The reading on the hard drive under normal system conditions was 36.4° C without the Voyager fan, and with the fan it dropped to 31.2° C.
