I should agree with you for 100%, as it is the same way I cool my HDD's but.....
It's not only from cooling the hottest spot, contact area should matter also! And the contact area fron the sides is larger.

So I'm a bit confused here It seems to be that the HDD transfers the heat generated at the hot spot (motor) fairly well (good design).
So should I focus on the hotspot with a smaller area or the sides with a bigger area to get the best cooling :shrug:
Or both?
