Suggestions for a cool running SATA external hard drive enclosure?

[blobbyflob]

Hi guys,

Essentially, I wish to copy everything from my PC's existing 3.5" 12Tb Seagate internal SATA 3 drive to a new 3.5" 14Tb Seagate internal SATA 3 drive. After copying is finished, the new 14Tb drive will be put into the PC and the 12Tb Seagate SATA drive into an external enclosure - which has not yet been purchased.
I initially was thinking whether to get a docking station, but I will not need one once I change my PC. So I need something to keep the drive from dust etc, and to allow a SATA connection.
However, before I do anything else, I would first value your advice in suggesting an appropriate enclosure, and making any constructive comments


Can anyone help by suggesting suitable make/model of enclosure that will connect with large capacity 14Tb SATA 3 drives, and run cool?
Thanks in advance guys, for any constructive suggestions,

Move your computer to improve air flow. Be mindful of ambient temperature. Consider your usage. Monitor running temperatures. Clean your device's vents. Upgrade your cooling system. But don't forget to backup.

Thank you Baker 84. Great hints.
