padding would retain the heat in the drive? Would a Gel not be better for holding the drive in place?

Wow, missed so many comments – must’ve been during the contest season.

IMO black is just for aesthetics. Spray painting the front to other colors would be fun.

It would be nice to see it in a bright funky colour which would look good sitting on my desk

Does black metal and normal metal make any different in heat absorb and dissipation ?

the colour theory only apply on those heat generated by light.
but one thing for sure, metals will absorb heat faster and release heat faster than anything else as they have low heat capacity. that’s why we use metals as heatsink instead of plastics

It’s the material that counts here, while I wouldn’t say black absorbs heat but rather they absorb heat better but you’re referring to like sunlight or heated rays perhaps? like say wearing a black shirt would warm you up faster under the sun as compared to white shirt.

a scientist would explain this better though but being black doesn’t mean it absorbs heat. you can look at the materials used in PC parts, many are black.

I thought black colour absorbs heat rather than helping it dissipates? How much is it?
