Hard Drive Cooling

Hi!

I have an Antec AMG1080 server type case.

It has one rear fan right now.

Here are its specs:

and configuration:

It has a 3.5" drive cage which holds 3 hard drives.

Here are my Everest temperatures:

Temperatures:
Motherboard.............................33 °C (91 °F)
CPU.........................................38 °C (100 °F)
Aux.........................................46 °C (115 °F)
WDC WD1600JS-00MHB0.................................38 °C (100 °F)
WDC WD1600JS-00MHB0.................................42 °C (108 °F)
WDC WD2500KS-00MJB0.................................41 °C (106 °F)

So obviously the middle drive is hottest.

1. I'm going to add a bottom front 80mm fan to bring air in.

2. What else can I do to keep those hard drives cooler?


Thanks,

Andy
