I have this hard drive cage with these drives stuffed inside.
I didn't go with the stock fan--I have a Noctua that's rated about 37CFM (64.7 cubic meters/hour).
Problem is, the drives are hitting 55-58C.
The fan's currently positioned to pull air in.
I realize this may not be optimal, but what can I do to improve on a bad situation? Reverse the fan? Get a higher CFM unit? I'm guessing part of the fan's problem is that most of the frontal area is obstructed by hard drives...
