Consider that a hard drive doesn't put out more that 10 W heat, then a block with a <1.0 C/W over its massive area would suffice, and so nothing complex is in order. Obviously, if it's going to pull double duty, 2 hd's, then by all means beef it up a little. I just wouldn't throw so much copper when some cheapo pipe would do fine. Anyone remember the person who just soldered pipe to his hard drive cage?
