I have two Seagate 80 gig 7200 SATA drives in RAID 0 striped array and they are really hot..

How are ya'll cooling ur drives????

how do you tell if your HD's are gettinghot?
I run a fan on my HD, soon to be hd's sits on right side of chieftec case, blows on HD. 80MM, but still not sure how to monitor how hot my HD is??

I still have the side pannel off because I have no fan sucking air in...I just feel them and they are hot....

new comp just built....I could put a 120mm fan in front to blow air over the hard drives. U think I should seperate them by one slot, or buy those hard drive coolers that bolt to the bottum of the drives...

Running that D2OL is running my hard drives constantly....

it would be best to try and keep hard drives spaced out atleast by one, nothing should really be under the hard drive one spot. hot, to me, is when you cant keep you're finger on the HD for more than 15 seconds without burning

you might need more air flow and/or a HD cooler
