Aurora R8, HDD_FAN header on motherboard?

Hi Fella's 

A quick question here if anyone can help me out. 

Does anyone actually use this HDD_FAN header on the Alienware Aurora R8 motherboard.

What kind of fan would attach to it.

Is there anyone out there using it and could tell me more about it please .

Thank you.

R7, R9, R11-12 motherboard has it too (not on R10, R5, R6 motherboard).  Dell did not implement it.

it can be used with Standard 4-pin PWM to Mini 4-pin Header Video Card Fan Adapter Cable or PWM GPU Fan Adapter Cable, GPU Mini 4pin Extension Power Cable 

Standard 4-pin PWM And Mini 4-pin Header Video Card Fan Adapter Cable

Thanks mate. I've never seen anyone use it but I suppose you could connect a 30 mm fan to it.
