In file server cases?? > Seems like a bit of overkill... I use single height enclosures with the front panel removed (ie the blockout used for things like tape drives). In its place I put a foam filter to catch dust. This allows airflow directly across the top of the drive. I also get a GOOD fan from someplace like Digikey. Panasonic makes a line of ball-beaing fans with much higher rated air-flows that the ones typically found in disk cabinents. The oem fans also usually die in short order, which will fry a disk quite quickly. You do pay for it with increased fan noise! I am running a MC3243W (4GB 7200rpm) in one of these and the temp of the outlet air is little warmer than that from the older MC2217s I have (in same type cabinents). The top of the cabinet is no warmer than room temp.
