My Hitachi Destopstar 750GB enclosed in ICY DOCK doesn't feel too hot at all.

Nooo not at all. i run my 500gb WD mybook usb HDD 24/7 & it never gets any warmer than a human breath thru da vents.

external harddrives are internal harddrives inserted into a case.

if you worry about the heat you can buy a case that has fans.
