[Dream] external harddrives

[Doofus McFluoro]

Do any of them come with fans?

None of my 2.5's do, for obvious reasons.  But I havent seen a 3.5
with a fan either.

Generally s peaking though most of the heat gets lost through the case
as the enclosures are external.  Not had a problem so far with mine
and I have been using them some years now.
