For $23, it might be worth buying one just to have it around.

np. They suck though. Your drive will overheat in a heartbeat if you don't watch it. So make sure you have good ventilation, and I'd set up a fan or something if you have one blowing into the intake vents to help keep airflow.

are the vantecs aluminum? I thought that kept the heat down?

The Vantec's are nice, we use them at work, haven't had a problem yet...
