Aluminum or not, I had had to many drives die from overheating in enclosure to use any enclosure that doesn't have some kind of active cooling.

Personally I prefer the AMS Venus line of enclosures due to the integrated 80mm cooling fan.

Can I put a serial-ata hard drive inside this and connect it with my eSATA motherboard port?
