I appear to have found one thru another poster's (diff. group) suggestion.
Ordered and on the way. Crossing fingers.
Theoretically one SHOULD be able get one.
Only the newer hotter 7200rpm drives should need a fan IMO.
I have a couple old laptops that didn't have fans at all, and they of
course had hdd's.
I'm going to get a 5400rpm drive to put in it to be safe.
They are getting hard to find though, as it seems "the more heat the
better, we'll just ad more fans" as far as components these days.
Course, all these devices are conspicuously devoid of dust filters for
these fans. I guess the more internal dust the better too.
