But bad news today : the temp is UP (and the weather cooler than yesterday...)

No luck. Drive 3 even reached 60°C some hours ago. The hot air is now trying to escape from the front. I'm thinking of changing that back... Any other idea ? :/ (ho, and even with all services disabled, the spindown feature is useless : all the drives are spinning back up right away... :( ) See if opening the door reduces the drive temp. If so, consider removing the black mesh as that's what keeping the air from ventilating out faster.
