Retrofitting cooling on your drive, will depend on how difficult it

reveal the secret of how to get them apart without damaging them.


You read my mind, I'm probably gonna make my own vent holes - at a net
cost of about $50 for a TB of drive space (how much would a TB have
cost 10 years ago?) the warranty isn't really a big consideration,
hardly worth the effort of jumping through the hoops - it would
probably cost $15 just to ship the thing for warranty service/
replacement, plus time at the post office etc.
