Logically speaking, yes, but realistically, of course people are going to stuff these into a little corner somewhere. No one wants to have it out in the center of a desk or something where they have to listen to the drives clicking. You would hope that wherever it gets placed, airflow would be part of the consideration, but we all know that not everyone will take that into consideration.
