My main server has two of them.  Hot enough to burn your fingers when
you open the case right after shutting it down.  "Fry an egg" is no
exaggeration, although you want to be careful, get butter on the drive
and it probably voids the warranty.  My server, a Dell, has fans built
in, but for another machine running two 7200 RPM SCSI drives and a DDS-3
tape drive I bought a nice little thermostat-controlled fan unit from
MegaHaus / Dirt Cheap Drives (same company).  If your case doesn't
already have a fan pointed at the drive bays, then with those extra-hot
drives you definitely want to get an add-on cooler like the one I got.

Give till it hurts!  All those zillionaires who have invested in NASDAQ
are depending on you!  (What I mean to say is "fuck 'em!")
