Benjamindaines said:Well if it came with a drive in it you should be fine. Mine was just an enclosure that I put my own drive in (a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 ATA). I when it was running I could hold the outside of the case for more then a minute but the drive inside I couldn't hold for more then a few seconds with out getting burnt. If you're really worried about it you can run it without the lid on it. Luckily for me all I had on the drive was some source code which could easily be replaced.
Thanks for the reply...no I just bought the case...the ONLY sata external case they had. Well I guess I will do something...maybe install a fan on the side?
