Do you need the 5.25 drive bays? Airflow is probably ok but can do much better for the price, just no bays.

I use them in my unRAID setup where they spend most their time spun down. SSD write "cache" when doing backups and for most of my uses reads are more than fast enough. Anything I need faster I have local, though I could change up the SSD setup. Sometimes wish I'd gone m2 cache drives, I max out sata SSD writes at about 3.6Gb/s backing up my personal rig.
