Fan Needed In HD Enclosure

[willbemcse]

I am looking at this enclosure
Acomdata
this doesn't have a fan isn't that bad for an enclosure , also I couldn't find what's the maximum had limit on this thing.

Has anyone has any experience with this brand.

Actually, my brother owns the same thing (he bought a combo I guess, 250gb hd with enclosure). When I used it I never had a problem..

I was just wondering as the fan might help the drive cool off how are
Vantec compared to acomdata.

Since the drive is external, it gets all the cooling it needs from the enclosure itself in a cooler environment than internal drives.

I have, at present, 5 external drives - none have fans. None have heat problems.
