Fan or no fan? Startech good?
I always use the attachments and overall housing as supplied by the manufacturer. My experience with Startech is mixed.
If there is adequate cooling overall, the drive bay housing should be fine without additional fans provided it is well vented.

Can you please list a couple that you'd recommend?
As I said, I only use manufacturers components and in my case that is IBM.

I always put drives in carriers (attached to small drives), rails (for some PC installations), or trays (for some server installations). They always go in something and the "something" always comes from the manufacturer.
