    <p>At a minimum, setup a small room fan blowing at/across the
      external drives.</p>
    <p>The cases tend to overheat easily, which will cause problems.</p>
    <p>Also there is a good chance the data is still on the drive.  Most
      external drives use a firmware offset that makes the data
      difficult to reach outside of the drives enclosure.  Finding an
      identical enclosure and swapping the drive should get the data
      accessible.</p>
