I have two of these running for 14 months, no complaints:

They're 5.25" which I use for IDE hotswap sleds:

I also have some Speeze 3.5" of the same vintage, all aluminum, passive 
cooling.  Those are great, but they don't make them anymore - the 
replacement is bigger and has an annoying blue 'neon' bar in the front. 
  I have one which works, but I won't buy another because I don't need 
more dasblinkenlights on my shelf.  If you like technobling and don't 
care about the size they're fine.
