The universal drive adapters work great (We have some other brands as
well), but one minor caveat. I've had some larger capacity drives
generate too much head and give me problems when doing large file
transfers to or from the drive with the universal drive adapters. I now
blow my desktop fan over the drive to dissipate heat, and haven't had
the problem again. (this didn't seem to be a problem for the average
<160 gb drive.

Or ditch the enclosure and get a universal drive adaptor:
