it is rather large but maybe that helps with air flow and cooling the hard drive.
from www.amazon.com
i have not run performance tests for the speed, or taken drive temperature to assess it's cooling ability, but i am very pleased with the performance.
from www.amazon.com
it certainly does a good job of cooling the hd.

first of all, this is a very nice case when it comes to durability, cooling, quietness, and flexibility.
from www.amazon.com
i think this antec enclosure's cooling performance will make up for its relatively high price over the long haul.

from www.amazon.com
the biggest concern of mine was whether the enclosure have a good cooling system, and this was just the best enclosure for it.
from www.amazon.com
realy a great esata enclosure, the cooling fan is very quiet too.
from www.amazon.com
they've performed yeoman service in fairly tight places where i wouldn't have confidence in a static cooling solution.
from www.amazon.com
because my laptop has small storage space, i needed some extra storage that could be left in an "always on" setup, meaning active cooling was necessary.
from www.amazon.com
pro: well-built, quiet cooling fan, 2 interfaces esata and usb2, works fine with my seagate 1.5tb

i plan to drill ventilation holes in each side of the case and attach a cooling fan to the outside to pull the heat out of the enclosure.
from www.amazon.com
no cooling fan or vents.
from www.amazon.com
i really expected this to be a problem with a case that didn't have a forced air cooling system, but nope....no heat problems.

my only word of caution is the tightness of tolerances when installing the hard drive - i had to slip the cooling fan out of it's place to allow me to angle the power connection to a point i could
from www.amazon.com
my only negative is the cooling fans.

Sabrent ECS-STU35K USB 2.0 External

$34.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
space is tight, but needs to be, to provide cooling for the drive.
from www.amazon.com
heavy users who will be accessing their external drives constantly or who work in hot environments may want to look into a case that's specially geared towards cooling.
from www.amazon.com
this may improve cooling, assuming your're using it somwhere with high winds, but makes it far less sturdy - they're held in place only by slots in the four corner posts.
