[QUOTE="Lightning_Brian, post: 810946, member: 65620"] I really like this option: [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-External-Lay-Flat-Docking-EC-DFFN/dp/B013WODZH0/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2ZGF4Z6G7SLWO&keywords=external+hard+drive+enclosure+with+fan&qid=1555769452&s=gateway&sprefix=external+hard+drive+enclosure+with+%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-4"]Amazon.com: Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station with Built-in Cooling Fan for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP and 6TB] (EC-DFFN): Gateway[/URL] Granted the Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station with Built-in Cooling Fan for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP and 6TB] (EC-DFFN) is a little pricey at $24.99, but the added fan is nice. I wouldn't recommend keeping the lid closed for extended use at all. Slightly off topic from cheap: I personally use a Thermaltake Max 5G Active Cooling Hard Drive Enclosure with Two 80mm Blue LED Fans USB 3.0 5.0Gbps ST0020U for my external hard drives.
