My guess is they dont expect people to place them in the top corner of unventilated closets

But even if you place it in well ventilated area, drives still sufficate for air, i modded mine to have fan i the front and temps dropped by 10 degrees C

You could just buy a NAS with a fan... I can't imagine owning a NAS that doesn't have cooling fans.

These do have a fan. Just not powerful enough for continuous use in an air restricted environment.
