What can I do about my hard drive overheating?

Heat Solution

Macs are pretty trouble-free when it comes to overheating. But if you run into this problem, as I did once when I was forced to set up my Mac in an unventilated loft for a few weeks, you'll love Drive Cool. This tiny fan (barely 1/4" thick) attaches directly to your hard drive, right in the bay. You can find out more about it at http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/cooling/drive/drive_cool/
