You may consider using this part:

The disadvantage is that you have no quick-swap-possibility, but the
cooling is better as in hot-swap cases. The box has nice vibe-stoppers
so that you have no vibrations on the case. I have several of these
boxes and the disks run at least 10C cooler compared to a hot-swap
system. And they sell for less than 25$.
best regards
