<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>
