I got a seagate 500GB and some $20 enclosure and well.. it was $20 for a reason. No active, and no passive cooling. The drive kept hitting the mid 50s Celsius. So what'd I do?

yeah, If it was a western digital I wouldn't be able to do that because the surface i put the heatsink on wouldn't be flat at all. WD ones are like ribbed or something in a cobweb shape.
