HP really jammed stuff in this model.

I had to mount an external fan on top of the primary drive.

Hmmmm. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to mount a fan on
top of a hard drive.

Probably because you are clueless about the subject.

If your drive is running too hot, get a better drive.

You have no idea what "too hot" is.

Some modern cases, like mine, put an intake fan directly in front
of the hard drive rack.

My present main computer has 5 internal hard drives, ranging from 400
GB to 1 TB, and two optical drives, and none are running hot.
