Buy a Safecom external box and stick in a HD.
You can get them for whatever type of drive you like. Be warned,
though, that the SATA variant is so badly designed that it is all but
impossible to screw the disk to the enclosure.
These boxes are really just lumps of aluminium. They do have fans in
them, but with so much metal around them they do not get that hot.
Indeed, I have disconnected the fans with no ill effects. Probably
better cooled than a disk sitting alongside others in a PC.
