In that case, it is a serious speed penalty...

I only have two fans: One on the CPU and one in the power supply unit.
The new drive runs very hot compared with the old one, so I think I'm
going to shuffle them a bit. Placing the new one on the bottom next to
the air intake should probably help a bit.
It's not like the heat from the new drive raises the temperature in
the box much, as measured by the motherboard. But the drive chassis
gets too hot to touch, so I suppose some more cooling is healthy.
