Scythe "Quiet Drive" + Rapor

24inchgamer · 7 Nov 2007 at 11:50

Hi Guys, I have a 150gb raptor drive which I reduced the noise of dramatically using a Scythe "Quiet Drive". I have changed a few parts in my system and swapped the drive out, and im not sure if I put the drive back in the quiet drive correctly as it appears to be upside down.
Ive lost the instruction the came with the Scythe, does anyone else have one of these devices, which way up does your drive site?

Thanks for your help

Here's an online installation/review which should be just as good...

Thanks man, so it is upside down then? it doesnt actually say, but it looks like they have turned it over. Are drives ok to sit upside down?

Installing a hard drive upside down should not be a problem, in fact a lot of Dell products have their drives in such a position.

The one thing to remember is that a hard drive has moving parts and as such should not be written to for long periods one way up then turned over and written to again for a long period. So tbh as long as you are not constantly changing the position of your drive you will have not issues

Otherwise all the files fall off and end up in an untidy heap on the bottom of the drives.
