GFOviedo Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I love those HDD cages. I've got one and two Suoermicro ones, and I like the Norco better. I clean them with my air compressor at 200 psi. I don't think your air compressor is the culprit. May be someone else hit it. Quote Link to comment

I usually clean out my computers at ~100 PSI Quote Link to comment

I usually clean out my computers at ~100 PSI Hope you guys aren't cleaning them out with the drives still in. Drives (except for the helium filled ones) have tiny holes (and filters) to equalize pressure and prevent dust from getting into them. The last thing you want to do is force the dust in.

CHBMB Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I was wondering how powerful your air compressor was.... Quote Link to comment
archedraft Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Indeed, that much psi is a very bad idea... Quote Link to comment

I always took the drives out. I thought 100 PSI was OK, but either way that's another conversation. Quote Link to comment

I remove the drives out and clean everything. I don't leave the drives in and use the air compressor since I don't want to push any air/dirt in the drive. Quote Link to comment
