@Andy: I couldn't wait and I bought 2.5" HDD drive. Before I put everything together, I'd like to ask you about the gel pads. I had great trouble with opening and removing HDD from QD 3.5. The pads were so sticky I almost damaged HDD connectors, bended enclusure when taking it out. Almost glued together.
When I was puting it together I took extra care to remove all air bubles.

I had the HDD in QD for almost a year. Now I wonder if I made the mistake, that I removed protecting cover from gel pads?

What will happen if I leave one cover on (the one facing outer enclousure) and only remove the one that goes to inner aluminium frame. Will it melt? Will cooling get even worse?

So now I'm about to but 2,5'' HDD in two enclousures. I can't imagine replacing the drive.
