Beginners • Re: Cooling a hard drive with a fan

I thought it was easier or at least that it could be done easily even for an inexperienced person, instead I opted for a simpler and more immediate solution.
As pidd said, a fan that always turns and cools.
I took a 5 volt fan with three wires on aliexpress, I connected two diodes in series to slow it down and I connected it as you do for the official fan.
Now my only doubt is that I do not intend to activate the fan control via the options on raspi-config because it goes to read the processor temperature but I wanted to leave it always active by using the current that comes out of the pins.
Can I do it or do I risk burning the raspberry?
