I use the 250GB Maxtor ATA 133 Diamondmax 10 in my external hard drive..
Hard Drive

Enclosure :

The thing is that I'm really fed up with the heat it gives off..

When the hard drive is on full load...the enclosure gets pretty hot...

However , often times ...many drive errors appear like partition corruption probably due to the heating of the hard drive..

Is there anything I could do to make it cooler or etc?

I regret buying a drive from Maxtor

maxtor is hot, pretty hot
im glad that they will no longer exist
its seems that you need to replace the enclosure with some liquid system
chek this
for sure u need better cooling

regards

I don't have the money in my pocket to buy water cooling....way too expensive for me

is the fan working in the enclosure?

yes , it is working but then even with the fan...the hard drive can't get cool enough ..

It's an improvement from my previous plastic enclosure where the drive overheats and then crashes...

I still need a more effective way to getting heat out from the hard drive

I run Seagate and Western digital drives in USB 2.0 enclosures and have no problems with heat as long as the enclosure has a fan. if you dont have the money to replace the drive then your only viable option is to find ways to allow more air flow. thru the enclosure.
