External Enclosures for Hardrives any good?

I need some extra storage space for mp3s, but I'm worried 160 or even a 80 gb HD will burn out because there's no cooling fans in the enclosures.

Anyone know anything about this?

Well, hard drives don't normally come with fans already attached to them and that means they probably will not burn out. Mine has no fan and i've had it for over 3 years now. So you wont need a fan on it. Also if you want, you can shut the hard drive off when you're not using it and it will keep your data since its external.

Do a mod, put some fans on it :p

you can buy aluminium enclosures, with like, mega ventilation, perhaps that would help? :)
