bingo. hard drives will produce a fair amount of heat when running for long periods of time and you need to think about airflow around the drive for heat dissipation. If you are going to do something like this, I would consider getting a hard drive enclosure and foam mount the enclosure instead of the drive itself.


you also need to figure out if the foam will work, remember 1 hit to the platters and the drive might be dead.
