Should a 3.5†external HDD enclosure have ventilation?
I should mention this HDD will be turned on for extended periods of time.
I'm concidering this 3.5†external HDD enclosure (case #2) link on bottom, however this portable case has no
Ventilation like my Western digital my book which is vented completely on top and on the backside.
the WD my book get's kindof warm so
?1. I'm thinking ventilation is mandatory?
Here's 2 links w/ image of the WD my taken apart so I assume when the HDD fails the case can be reused?
?2.I also assume I use fingernals on both side and just pull the case apart for disassemble?
