I use a Nexxtech NX2 external drive case, with my laptop's old standard

Always wondered why people felt the need to by external drives when you
could get a better external drive housing and put the drive of your
choice in it ...

This does work as expected, I just wonder if here's the need to spin
down the drive from time to time, since it's plastic-covered, it perhaps
could become too hot. It's just a little bit warm at the moment, not
hot, IMO there is no risk of overheating.
