At a minimum, setup a small room fan blowing at/across the external drives.

The cases tend to overheat easily, which will cause problems.

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.
