the only reasonable places to cool on the hdd is the top or bottom, have you ever looked at the sides? where the screwholes are? there is nothing I would consider partially flat there.
The motor would be a great place to cool, is that the hottest place on the hard drive?
Some hard drives dont have that expozed. like this dead quantum hard drive I have sitting here... I have 2 dead quantums... no other dead hard drives, some 5+year old maxtor drives that still work... these quantums are 3years old or less... what does that tell you?
