I've got a possible solution for keeping drives cool: lots of fans.
I've found a little device that you put in front of your drive instead
of the normal plastic faceplate.  It has two little fans in it.  
Costs about $10.

I've now got the disks for my main server (idiom.com) in an external
enclosure.  Four disks.  Eleven fans.  (One on the power supply, two
in the enclosure, and eight little ones right in front of the disks).

I got mine from Wetex (http://www.wetex.com).

The part number is FAN-HDD-CK2.
