Hi!, I would like to tell you, about these HD Carriers..

Most of them are made of Plastic, a poor heat conducer.

keep in mind that if your HD is on a regular housing, it can dissipate
heat on it, but if you use these enclosures, It may not dissipate all the
necessary heat and if your room temperature is high... oh oh... :-).

I tell you this because, I destroy a 10 Gb Western Digital HD due to
overheating
it where on one of these plastic HD carriers and the room temperature was
about 85 Deg. F. on a Tower PC housing.
I decide to attach a 4" Fan on the top of these carrier to avoid HD
overheating.

Sorry for the bad enlgish.

I hope this coment can be helpful for you and you didn't destroy any HD yet :-)

see you
