5V-12V DC Brushless Motor Driver Board Controller For Hard drive motor 3/4 wire
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
I bought this to experiment with old HDD and CD motors. The product worked just out of the box, without any problem. It is true that in the low RPMs area adjustment is not so good, but still you can lower the RMPs considerably. I let the motor run freely at 12 Volts and full speed for about half an hour, and the PCB was just a little bit warm to the touch (not much). The current was about 450 mA, but at motor startup it went up as high as 1.1 to 1.15 Amps. The interesting (and very good) thing is that the overcurrent protection works like a charm. I stalled the motor (by stopping the rotating disk with my hand) and the current went up to 1.15 Amps – and no more. Very nice. Which means that if you make, for example, a grinder, and at some point in time you accidentally stall the motor or force it to run at low RPMs for some time, you do not run the risk of frying the module. I have to mention that before putting the module into operation, and having read the comments of EdLuke for this module on how to avoid module failures during startup (you can find them here in the “Reviews Section”), I put a low ESR 3300uf, 25 Volts capacitor across the power input (you can see it in the photo). As this comment is old enough (2016) maybe the problem has been corrected now, but to be sure I still have to check with an oscilloscope. Nevertheless, placing a capacitor is an easy job, so fine with me – and if in fact has to stay there, you can always solder it on the back side of the PCB. And finally, a BIG THUMBS UP for shipping. This is the first time I experienced shipment with Banggod Express, and all I can say is “Congratulations”. So, five stars for everything, and Thank You Banggood.

Fonctionne nickel, pour tous types de moteurs à 3 enroulements (ou x 3) comme moteurs d'HDD, de lecteurs de disquettes, têtes de lecture de magnétoscopes, ...
Great Driver Board for Brushless Hard Disk Drive motors, both 3 and 4 wire that can be chosen on the board. You can also switch the rotation direction on the board.
Works properly
Good performance all in all. Drew max 4.5W @ 12V with an HDD motor I pulled out. The 3/4 write selection is marked as ON/OFF so I added a little note with my marker in case I forget
Great and functional. Delivered on time
It's okay!
all great, unit is working as expected, arrived in under two weeks
Works fine.
