That'll work but an even easier solution is to get Kingwin KF-23
removable drive bays. That model has 3 fans - and based on the MBM5
report, the drive stays cool.

Even when I beat up on it, like defrag, DVD Shrink, etc - things that
cause the CPU to heat up a lot - the drive stays cool, no higher than
45C at most. WD gives an operating range of 5 - 55C so my drives stay
well inside that range.
