I want to buy some good quality external SATA drive cases. I do not

The case I want must have its own power supply. It must be well
cooled with one or more ball bearing fans. It must have eSATA and
usb 2.0 interfaces.

Can anyone recommend a good case for me? Thank you in advance for
all replies.

It's rarer to find actively cooled enclosures. It's more usual to find passively cooled enclosures with a metal aluminum body which conducts heat better than non-metallic. Usually these are sufficient cooling, the drives may reach 50C under activity, but the drives are designed for that nowadays.
