I've just installed 2 more hard drives bringing my total up to 4. They are all installed in the 3 1/2 drive bays. I noticed today that it's geting kinda hot in there (duh!) and I was wondering what would be the best way to cool them down? I would prefer to leave them where they are but I do have two 5 1/4 drive bays free.
I have found fans that attach to the bottom of the drives but I'm not sure if these blow or draw warm air away from the drives. I'm concerned that if they draw the warm air away, it'll just make the drive below even hotter.
I would really appreciate any help with this as it has got me a bit worried.
Cheers.
