Default Housing two 2.5-inch hard disks in one 3.5-inch drive bay?

Is it gonna kill both hard disks by heat?


2.5 inch disks usually generate a lot less heat than a 3.5 inch disk, so
my guess would be no.

I'm considering one of these, or perhaps 4x 2.5" in a 5.25" bay. Two
2.5 inch 500 GB disks will be around twice the price of a single 3.5" 1
TB disk, but as far as I can see they will be quieter and lower power
(even with two of them), and faster (using raid0).
