I bought this item on August 28, 2017. and started using it the following week. Took it to the Philippines and used it on the 28 hour flights via Jet Blue, Asiana Airlines, and Cebu Pacific. No issues in check points, no issues on the plane, no issues at work, and still quiet as can be.
Some things you should KNOW:
1) The feet may slide off. WATCH them carefully (the rubber things not the plastic components)
2) Ya ya ya ya dual usb ports.... lol but ONE MUST be used for the FANS. So you have ONE spare USB port. Still I didn't need it, but it makes it sound like you can use 2 without needing the obvious power from your laptop via usb port or some external power component.
3) Do NOT lose the male to male usb cord. They aren't readily available everywhere lol. Best buy a spare one just in case.
4) It definitely cools down the computer. I ran multiple 3rd party programs and temp test in bios and it definitely works.
5) It says it doesn't power external HDDs... LOL YES IT DOES. Well at least this one it did: Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0, Black (STDR4000100). Now granted.... It's a laptop hdd and not a desktop hdd... However it IS an external hdd none the less.
6) I put this thing to the test. I am a gamer, I also am a ripper, and I do coding as well. I ran both Elder Scrolls online and WoW (World of Warcraft) at the same time as GoT 2160p S03E04 episode with an external mouse and hdd while the fans were turning on, my lap didn't get hot like it would but did get kinda luke warm, but thats to be expected when the video card is activated due to gaming and show. Now imagine running ESO for 6 hours, and WoW for 9 hours while watching 12 hours of tv episodes on the airplane while flying over the ocean, and Russia and Korea airspace. Lets just say my passenger seat person was greatly entertained the entire flight. My lap and my boys were truly happy for lack of heat. Thank You Havit 5 Fan Cooling Pad. I will buy another thank you!
** if you are over paranoid with the heat as a gamer, this does work with 2600-5000RPM as well.
EDIT 1: As of August 9, 2018 - This item still works. There are some instances when I initially turn it on the fans can get loud but then stop almost 5 seconds later. No complaints here. I use this almost daily 3-5 days a week while at work.
