Need to get 12GB or higher. Anything lower will be a lot hotter as they are not using helium.

I don't think 12GB hard drives have been a thing since the 90s.

Drives don't fail simply due to heat.
Every drive should be evaluated against its design spec to see if it's "too hot".
Hard drives only fail for heat-related reasons due to being unevenly cooled, not improperly cooled to some arbitrary temperature number that is "safe."

Let's agree that drive runs hotter fail a lot faster than drive cooler. This is for storage. I don't think you want it to fail say in 3 years.

Some Walmarts still have 8tb WD Black external drives for $108 if you're looking for a new drive.

Plugged into the wall is NOT considered "Portable"
