I have a couple of the Rosewill enclosures with a 40mm fan. The fan
doesn't make much difference. Maybe the bigger fan is better. In any
event I use these drives only for backup and haven't noticed much heat
buildup. The AL case alone dissipates the heat pretty well. The cases
are on sale occasionally for around $25 and for that price I don't have
to mess with the docking stations.
However I don't see a heat problem running 4 drives inside my case and
would suggest you go that route for the sake of simplicity. I did add a
120mm fan on the HD bays. If you do go external at least use the
included eSATA adapter.
