Mod-Laptop HDD Cooling?

[Monkey34]

I'm making a custom case from scratch( I'll post pics later), and have a lappy HDD to go into it( it's gonna be small). I've seen all the coolers for standard HDD's, but nothing for the lappy's. Anyone seen one? I've got a mod in mind to do it, but I'm already spending a bunch of time making this thing, and a retail solution would be nice.

doesnt exist laptop drives are in tight spaces already exist in almost no airflow and stuff like that

my advise to you is that you make it your self i have delt with laptop repair and they are all pretty tight locked up with little to no room in them

my cousin's girlfrind had her laptop fan go out and it damaged the hard drive and caused instability for it it would lock up every 10-15 min i did a reinstall of xp and stuff before i opened the case for 45 bucks i replaced the heatsink and fan it was then able to run prime 95 for over 15 hours with no prob the system had the one small fan with out it there was no cooling

Well (i'm not trying to be snotty here, but) what did you expect? Laptop HDDs are meant to go into ... laptops. Do you expect a 3rd party cooling solution? ;P
The market for that sort of thing would be SO SMALL there'd be no point in paying for R&D.

I wouldn't worry about the laptop drive overheating to be honest, it's designed to run in a cramped ass space...
