Cool, so to speak [
] ]'> thanks uni. HOT is a relative term. I don't want to scare anyone about using them. These things are built like tanks. I've still got five of my batch of ten still wrapped up, one is already filled with backup data, one is in the SuperIIsi™ and three are floating around in different project boxen, I love 'em, I couldn't imagine living in a 68k MacWorld or in my little OS9 bubble of surreality without 'em now at this point.

I'll post pics of the hot swap enclosure I've got for four 3.5" Server drives. That's what had me wondering about how I'm sandwiching the is particular cold swap Savvio hack between two metal plates. But I just hunted it down and now that I've examined it more closely, there's really just the one muffin fan to cool four drive trays stacked almost as closely as pancakes.
I'll just finish canning up the first drive and check the temperature of the metal on the top side pan. There will be airflow across the sides of the drive and the pans that act as heat spreaders/radiators already.
I can worry about adding more cooling onto the chassis pan/heat spreaders only if they feel too warm to the touch when I do the next 25MB+- backup run of the data on the drive from the QS'02. I jumbled the boot blocks by setting it up in the G3DT without knowing about the partition limitations. I'll just rock and roll with the setup as it stands for a couple of sessions.
