Something else I came across recently. Cooling in most enclosures ranges
from poor to non-existent. This leads to overheating drives as a matter
of course, and from that to failure.

(Personally, I have two enclosures that appear to have failed, and I
need to investigate to see if the drives themselves are dead. Two out of
two in the space of a few months is pretty bad going.)

Cheers,
Wol
