Conclusions and Afterthoughts
Both products will be concluded separately to lessen the occurrence of confusion.
KF-23-IPF Triple Fan-Cooled Mobile Hard Drive Rack
As said before, this is a great product. The workmanship and durability is second to none. If the engineers sit down and work out the cooling problems, I can't see this product being one of the best on the market. But as it stands now, it's good points are really being brought down by its bad. Let's hope to see an improvement in the near future.
Pro's
- Durability
- Price (Very Reasonable)
- Aluminum Construction
- Quality of Construction
- Ease of Installation
Con's
- Cooling (Needs to be rethought)
OVERALL SCORE: 6/10 (PRODUCT NEEDS WORK)
KF-101-IPF Double Fan-Cooled Mobile Hard Drive Rack
Of the two mobile racks examined, this one is the true winner. Great construction, durability, GREAT cooling, easy installation all add up to a winner. I was really impressed with the cooling and the drop of temperature within the harddrive tray. If you are in the market for a mobile rack, save some money and get this little hidden jewel, you will not be sorry.
