Mobile racks (a.k.a. "caddies" and "removable trays") are
indeed very convenient. I installed a Kingwin unit of the type
with the cooling fan built into the bottom of the removable tray
(http://www.kingwin.com/pdut_detail.asp?LineID=&CateID=25&ID=136),
and it works beautifully, keeping the hard drive (a Maxtor
DiamondMax Plus 9) quite cool. I use it for backing up the
entire contents of each of my two internal hard drives. The only
tradeoff is a slight whooshing noise from the air rushing into the
front of the removable tray. With 3 hard drives and a few ATAPI
devices, round cables are necessary to make everything fit, so I
use the ones with the aluminum braid shielding. So far,
no problems.
