2" disk drives in USB enclosure

I'd like to buy a 2" disk in USB enclosure.
Do these thin aluminium enclosures provide enough cooling
and mechanical protection for the drive?
Can you recomment specific drive models that work well
in such enclusure?

Thanks,

Actually I have not seen any external hard drive enclosure that does a good
job at keeping the drive cool. They do get rather warm even though they are
well vented, but it doesn't seem to matter much. I suppose it takes some
lifespan off of the drive, but that is the trade-off for the convenience and
portability.
