One problem with a LOT of these prefab drive enclosures is lack of sufficient cooling for the drives, the electronics, or both. They tend to squish the drives into tight spaces with hardly any allowance for air movement around the drives, and many of them use teensy little 2-3" fans which make impressive noises but hardly move any air.

So whatever can be done to improve air flow and/or cooling is likely to improve longevity.
