A system includes at least one hard disk drive (HDD) controlling the temperature of an internal thermal zone. The HDD preferably includes a thermal controller directing a thermoelectric device based upon a temperature measure of internal thermal zone. The thermoelectric device thermal-couples via thermal interface to internal thermal zone and to air exterior to HDD, providing a first heat transfer to remove heat from the internal thermal zone and providing a second heat transfer to add heat to the internal thermal zone. The thermal controller directs the thermoelectric device to provide the first heat transfer, when the temperature measure is above a top operating temperature, and directs the thermoelectric device to provide the second heat transfer, when the temperature measure is below a bottom operating temperature. The system may be a RAID, server computer, desktop computer, and notebook computer. Manufacturing these systems. The systems as manufacturing products.
