Now, you are a semantical twit.
A 20 Ga stainless lid is quite stiff. but to someone used to heavier sheet steel calling it thin is NOT incorrect. For you to assume he meant foil thin is just more proof of how pedantic (and ignorantly so) you are.

Kony,
Just filter him out! It's heaven.

You're an idiot.
The air inside the platter box is virtually motion free, yet air has a pretty good conduction rate to surfaces it is against when it is hot air. The lid temp will not change much, if at all, regardless of the physical mounting configuration for the drive.
That does not include using the lid as a conduction cooling element against a metal surface. We are talking about bare lids here.
Squirm, you retarded twit.

Do you always spew the same old tired CRAP to everyone that disagrees with you, boy?

Early Barracuda drives overheated (had thermal issues) due to a poor transistor selection for the spindle motor drivers, a poor driver circuit design that allowed said transistors to overtly dissipate instead of conducting, and a PCB that could not handle said drivers. Even the spindle motor technology has advanced since then.
You clueless fucktard.
Kony and Phat (and anybody):
What's your take on this thingy?
Where would the drive's heat sensor be?
Would this actually help cool the bottom of the drive? Maybe not the board but the spindle and motor?

That is quite cool. No problem at all.

Cite!
And even if they do, they are considering that NON cooled surface as being a mean temperature for the drive.
D'OH!

That has to be one of the most retarded remarks you have made yet.
Anyone with even half a clue knows that the driver card's heat does NOT get conducted to the platter box lid of ANY hard drive.

Do you ever explain ANY of your totally bullshit childish remarks?
On Sun, 30 Jul 2006 15:08:25 +1000, "Rod Speed" Gave us:
That should give YOU a clue. Though I am sure you will never get it.
It is not "the logic card" either, dumbfuck.

He is an idiot. He makes all these bogus declaration, yet makes no technical responses at all.
This twit assembles PCs, at best. His knowledge of engineering hovers just below nil.

If you have a drive or drives that you feel are running hot, it would cool them for sure.
It is likely included with the cooling device.
The spindle and motor get cooled 100% conductively through the drive case. They are actually meant to operate at what you would call a hot temp.

Already provided. Do at least TRY to keep up, child.
Wrong, as always. They are actually specifying which place to measure to ensure that the drive doesnt exceed the max temp they specify.
Read those cites, child.
Phat:
Just filter Rod Speed out. It's heaven then.

How hot is hot enough to accelerate wear?

So clearly the designs do vary, stupid.
Pathetic, really.
It clearly isnt with those Barras, child.
