I have three WD 7200 RPM drives in a 3.5 in HDD internal bay (its max
capacity). They had to go there, as the four external bays are all taken up
with other devices. I can't get a hard drive cooler on any of the HDDs, so
each one has airflow going directly over it. Is there nothing to do but get
a massive amount of air flowing past the entire internal HDD bay? There is
the usual 40 mm fan sucking in air from the bottom front of the case and
exhausting at the bottom of the HDD cage, but I think it is doing little for
cooling---especially the one that is at the top of the cage, which is
running at 50deg. C.
There is a little bit of a gap between the drives, is there maybe some
very thin peltier device that could be sandwiched between them?
