I have listened to this discussion for quite a while now.

1. A "no-fan external" makes less noise, which is important if you try
to work. Once I had a ONE (Syquest) drive with fan that was louder than
my vacuum cleaner. Happily, it finished working after two weeks and I
got my money back.

2. I think these heat problems occure only after extreme long term
usage. Up to now, I had none of these problems.
